Leicester High School for Girls Launches “Big Sister, Little Sister” Programme

Leicester High School for Girls has introduced its new Big Sister, Little Sister initiative, bringing together Year R and Year 4 girls in a supportive and engaging way.

The programme began with a warm introduction over hot chocolate, where the girls met their “sisters” for the first time. Over the coming months, they will:

  • Make a gift for their sister.
  • Explore the school together, sharing favourite wall displays and spaces.
  • Read to each other and share stories.
  • Visit at break times to strengthen friendships.
  • Attend events together, building connections across year groups.

Assistant Head of the Junior Department, Pippa Gibbs, said:
"This programme helps our younger girls feel supported while giving our older students the chance to grow as mentors."

The initiative highlights the school’s commitment to developing a caring and inclusive community.
