Meet Our Buddies!

21st February 2025M Hanratty

Marsden Buddies are children who have dedicated their time to making Marsden a happier and safer place. Once a week, they put on their buddy vest and give up part of their lunch time to act as role models to the EYFS and KS1 children. They show them how to play turn-taking games, talk about how they are feeling and encourage the children to use their words to resolve any conflict.

They are a credit to Marsden!

FAB Awards 2025

21st February 2025M Hanratty

The Marsden Buddies are winners of a fabulous FAB Awards (Friends Against Bullying) for their fantastic work to combat bullying.

Names were put in a hat for some representatives to explain what being a buddy means to them and to receive the award on behalf of the Buddies.

We were also proud to see two ex-pupils being nominated for individual awards.

Brilliant Buddies

8th November 2019S Hume

Yet again, the Buddies continue to support the younger children’s play skills at Marsden. This year, we have seen the largest number of Year 5 children step up to be superb role models and, together with the Year 6 Buddies, they are making playtimes more enjoyable.

Buddies you are brilliant!

The Buddies continue to work with children in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 at lunchtimes to support their play skills. Year 6 Buddies have worked hard over the last year and have shown just how much they care. We now have new recruits from Year 5 who are keen to help younger children.

What a great team they are!

FAB Awards

By M Hanratty24th November 2015

The Marsden Buddies have been presented with a FAB (Friends Against Bullying) Award for their outstanding work, at lunchtimes, with Reception and Key Stage One children.
Six Buddies travelled to Boldon School on Wednesday 18th November to collect the award, on behalf of all the Buddies. While there, they had to inform others of the role of Buddies at Marsden and present some of their own poetry.
Well done, Buddies!
