The buddies in Year 6 help our Reception children to transition into school smoothly, they build strong friendships and are brilliant role models. Throughout the school year our buddies have planned opportunities to meet together, to work, play and have fun- including our weekly Buddy Lunches. Parents and pupils speak highly of how effective the buddy system is ensuring that those who join our school family instantly have a connection and a friendly face, making them quickly feel like a valued member of our school community. ### Pupils - [Buddies](https://stjosephsblackhall.net/pupils/buddies) - [Mini Vinnies](https://stjosephsblackhall.net/pupils/mini-vinnies) - [Prayer Leaders](https://stjosephsblackhall.net/pupils/prayer-leaders) - [Pupil Page](https://stjosephsblackhall.net/pupils/pupil-page) - [School Clubs](https://stjosephsblackhall.net/pupils/school-clubs) - [School Council](https://stjosephsblackhall.net/pupils/school-council) ![St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Blackhall](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-blackhall/images/logo/logo-footer-with-diocese-02.png) ### St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Blackhall Coast Road Blackhall Colliery TS27 4HE 0191 586 4308 ### Trust Information - [Website Terms](https://bccet.org.uk/website-terms/) - [Accessibility Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/accessibility-statement/) - [Privacy Notice](https://bccet.org.uk/privacy-policy/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/St-Josephs-Catholic-Primary-Blackhall/100075815209879) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Blackhall School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stjosephsblackhall.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
