Anti-Bullying Week

The theme for Anti-Bullying Week 2020 was: United Against Bullying. Anti-Bullying Week took place on Monday 16th - Friday 20th November. Odd Socks Day marked the first day of Anti-Bullying Week. Primary children and staff were invited to wear odd socks to school to highlight that we are all unique. In class we watched TV star Andy Day and his band Andy and the Odd Socks perform their amazing charity song: The Kids United. In secondary, the pupils focussed on anti-bullying during their tutor time and PSHE lessons. Whether it is verbal, physical, online or in-person, bullying has a significant impact on a child’s life well in to adulthood. This year, more than ever, we’ve witnessed the positive power that society can have when we come together to tackle a common challenge. Anti-Bullying Week is no different. Bullying has a long lasting effect on those who experience and witness it. But by channelling our collective power, through shared efforts and shared ambitions, we can reduce bullying together. From parents and carers, to teachers and politicians, to children and young people, we all have our part to play in coming together to make a difference. We are all a piece in the puzzle, and together, we are united against bullying.
