We are very proud of our 'Buddy System' at St Mary's PS which we have developed and refined over a number of years. In St Mary's we want our children to feel safe and secure and our 'Buddy System' is used to help our new Reception & Primary 1 children start school confidently and enthsiastically with a sense that someone is always there who will look after them. Our 'Buddy System' is rooted in our school vision of love and care and is a central feature of everyday life in St Mary's.
