We are moving back to the UK next summer from the Middle East and my two sons are age 7 and 12. Do you know if most secondary schools have a 'Buddy' system? For example, would they ask a child to be a buddy to my son while he finds his feet? I remember being a buddy myself at secondary school.
Also, do school in the UK still have the horror of communal showers? Oh my, I hated that. We were made to strip off which the teacher watched to make sure we showered. Hated it. Do they still do this in schools?
My 12 year old's current school is very conservative and they have sports at the end of the day so never an issue.
