Effectively tackling any bullying behaviour that takes place at More Park is always a top priority. This is part of our ongoing commitment to ensure that all of our pupils feel safe and happy at school.

We currently have 11 Anti-Bullying Ambassadors from years 5 and 6 who have demonstrated their dedication to the role and have completed training from the Anti-Bullying Alliance. Wearing blue high-vis jackets, they are easy to spot on the playground or field for children to approach should they encounter any difficulties. ABC club, (anti-bullying club), is run daily during lunchtime for children experiencing friendship concerns or playtime issues. There are books, games and colouring activities to engage with whist talking through any worries with an Anti-Bullying Ambassador.

Anti-Bullying Ambassadors promote kindness and present kindness awards to pupils and staff during celebration assemblies every week.

 Anti-Bullying Week 2025: Using Our Power for Good

Our school has taken part in Anti-Bullying Week, with the  theme “Power for Good.” Throughout the week, pupils were encouraged to recognise the power they each have to make a positive difference in our school community.

We began the week with Odd Socks Day on Monday, celebrating what makes us all unique! Our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors led a whole-school assembly where they spoke about how we can use our power for good by standing up for others, showing kindness, and making positive choices. They also set everyone a special challenge - to do at least one kind thing every day.

On Wellbeing Wednesday, pupils enjoyed an own clothes day and took part in a variety of wellbeing activities in their classes during the afternoon. We ended the week by celebrating World Kindness Day. To mark the occasion, a child in each class received a Kindness Award in recognition of the thoughtful and caring acts shown by pupils throughout the week.

It has been fantastic to see the whole school community coming together to spread kindness and positivity. By using our Power for Good, we can all help make our school a happier and more supportive place for everyone.

The anti-bullying ambassadors regularly speak in assemblies to make sure that all of the children know who they are and to spread the anti-bullying message. They also make sure we know:

• What bullying is
• The different types of bullying behaviour
• What to do if a child thinks they might be being bullied
• How we will deal with the situation

The anti-bullying ambassadors worked together to create our child friendly anti-bullying policy. This is displayed in every classroom and in others key areas of the school.
