Last week, children across the school celebrated anti-bullying week by completing a number of activities to ‘make a noise’ about bullying. KS2 children also took part in Speak Out Stay Safe workshops delivered by volunteers from the NSPCC to learn about bullying and abuse in its different forms and how to get support as it is never OK. Some of the younger children in school learnt about PANTS from the NSPCC and their right to say no, including how to share secrets that may upset them. The children were fantastic throughout and very mature when discussing some difficult topics.
