If you’ve been in to school, you will have seen our Anti-bullying Charter and posters of our Anti-bullying Superheroes around the classrooms and other spaces.
Every year, the children are asked to sign up to the Charter and what it represents and it was the theme of today’s assembly with Mr Smith.As part of our Anti-bullying activities, a useful guide has been created for pupils and their parents – this will be coming home with your child today.
