Anti Bullying Week 16th - 20th November 2015

This week in school we are taking part in Anti Bullying week.  

The key aims of the week are...

• To empower children and young people to make a noise about bullying – whether it is happening to them or to someone else, face to face or online;
• To help parents and carers have conversations with their children about bullying – both as a way of preventing bullying, and to help children who are worried about bullying;
• To encourage ‘talking schools’ where all children and young people are given a safe space to discuss bullying and other issues that affect their lives, and are supported to report all forms of bullying;
• To equip teachers to respond effectively when children tell them they’re being bullied; and
• To raise awareness of the impact of bullying on children’s lives if they don’t tell anyone it’s happening – or if they are not given appropriate support – with a focus on the impact on mental health.

We have delivered assemblies this morning to both Key Stages and will be working on the above aims through our L4L (learning for life )sessions this week.
