These sessions help younger pupils develop confidence, fluency and a love of reading, while giving older children the opportunity to become positive role models and leaders. Reading Buddies build strong relationships across the school and create a supportive reading culture where children encourage, inspire and learn from one another. Through this role, Year 5 pupils develop responsibility, communication skills and confidence while helping younger readers to flourish. ##### Location Nelson Street Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2JP ##### Contact Us 01772 682866 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Kirkhamandweshamprimary/) - [Accessibility](https://kirkhamwesham.lancs.sch.uk/accessibility) © Copyright 2025–2026 Kirkham and Wesham Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://kirkhamwesham.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
