Anti Bullying Ambassadors

Hands, Feet and Hearts that make a difference

As a church school we expect our children to follow our Christian ethos of being kind, considerate and respectful to one another and our children demonstrate a range of Christian values. However, we recognise that sometimes children can be unkind to each other and in some rare cases this can lead to bullying. The Anti-Bullying Ambassadors programme provides our children with the opportunity to work together to raise awareness and offer support to combat bullying.

This year we are adding to our leadership roles within school by including Anti-bullying Ambassadors who will complement the work already carried out by both staff and children relating to anti-bullying and building good relationships. Our new members will complete Anti-Bullying Ambassador Training to further develop their leadership skills, and support them in delivering a range of projects and ideas to further enhance our anti-bullying policy and our culture of promoting kindness, compassion and understanding.

Anti-Bullying Ambassadors believe that bullying behaviour is not acceptable and should not be part of everyday life at school. Our (ABAs) help educate their peers on bullying, lead on anti-bullying campaigns, promote a culture which celebrates and tolerates difference and help keep their peers safe both online and offline. They are a pillar of support, look out for others and are a strong voice for the school community.

Our ABAs meet regularly – about once a month – to discuss ways in which to promote the programme and share ideas about how to offer support to the children who may require it.
