Anti-bullying week
Published 24/11/14
This week, we have been raising awareness of bullying through national Anti-Bullying week, which this year is held between 17th - 21st November in schools across the country. Children have been finding out about what we mean by bullying (including cyber-bullying) and the steps to take if children find themselves in a situation that makes them feel uncomfortable. We also invited in a former pupil of Shottermill Junior School, who led assemblies with all children across the different year groups and answered their questions. Children got a lot out of the sessions and they said they were an excellent way to find out about bullying in real life situations.
