Anti-bullying Week News

This week is Anti-bullying week and each day in assembly and in class we have explored bullying and the impact on others.  Yesterday we talked about why we might bully someone and the difference between bullying and being unkind, neither of which are acceptable. The children had brilliant ideas of how to respond, to reach out and help if someone was struggling with being unkind, being bullied and even if someone was being a bully.

The children a few weeks ago nominated a member of staff who they feel goes above and beyond in our anti-bullying work in school and when the email form the Anti-Bullying Alliance came back they said they had never had a school who made so many nominations! 

Yesterday many of the children got to present the certificates to the adults, they shook their hand and congratulated them on the brilliant difference they make. It was another proud moment at Highfields.  Some of the children also took photographs of the staff nominated.
