Anti Bullying Ambassadors
In November 2024, a selection of children from Year 4, 5 and 6 attended a one-day anti-bullying training session run by The Diana Award. Our children worked together and acquired vital skills to change the attitudes and behaviours of bullying in our school by building their skills and confidence to address different situations, both off and online.
The Diana Award’s free Anti-Bullying Ambassador Programme, which is available to schools across the UK, sees facilitators working with students and other young people to change the attitude surrounding bullying both across the UK and beyond.
The programme has a strong peer-to-peer focus, with facilitators giving young people the skills and confidence to become anti-bullying ambassadors and tackle bullying in their schools long after the training has finished. The training looked at bullying in different situations, including face-to-face and online. At the end of the day, pupils made an action plan of how to approach bullying issues that may arise in our schools and committed to their roles as Anti-Bullying Ambassadors.
