Sock it to ‘em! Or don’t - actually!

BUDDY Thank you to all the children for joining in with Odd Socks Day! Odd Socks Day is part of Anti- Bullying week and was a fun way to launch the week’s activities. It sends an important message that we should all be allowed to be ourselves, free from bullying. Every child in our school will now have received their new, anti-bullying badge, designed by a pupil at our school. The badge shares the positive phrase ‘Be a buddy, not a bully’. Please encourage your child to wear this badge with pride on their school uniform.

What do we teach at Abbey?

It is important that children understand what bullying is and equally as important, what it is not e.g. falling out between friends, which children and parents can sometimes confuse as bullying behaviour.

Our important anti-bullying message is simple and effective:

Bullying is deliberate hurtful behaviour, repeated over time, which is difficult to stop (power). We encourage all of our pupils to use the word S.T.O.P to help them manage and speak out.
