Anti-Bullying Week
This year, Anti-Bullying Week takes place between Monday the 16th of November and Friday the 20th of November. This year, the theme is ‘Break the Silence’. During this week, we will be thinking about how each of us has the Power to Break the Silence. That means we all have the power to be kind, to include others, and to speak up if we see someone being unkind or hurt.
We will also be taking part in Odd Socks Day, a day to show our awareness of Anti-Bullying Week and to celebrate what make us all unique. On Monday the 16th of November, we encourage our whole school community to wear odd socks.
The theme was developed in collaboration with the anti-bullying sector and shaped directly by the voices of more than 200 children and young people, many of whom spoke about the silence that can surround bullying and the barriers young people face in asking for help.
Organised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance, which is coordinated by leading children’s charity the National Children’s Bureau, Anti-Bullying Week has become one of the largest children’s wellbeing campaigns in the UK, reaching an estimated 8 million children and young people and over 80% of schools each year.
Thank you for your continued support.
