West London school makes a noise about bullying

Year 8 Pupils with one of their posters

The theme of this year's anti-bullying week at St Benedict's School in Ealing west London was: 'Make a noise about bullying'. Every opportunity was taken to reinforce the anti-bullying message.

There were several special assemblies where pupils were able to put the anti-bullying message into their own words. Stories of bullying made clear the hurt it can cause, even though this may occur online. Cyber-bullying was a particular focus this year and all parents were invited to take part in an E-safety survey as part of the week's activities.

Year 8 pupils took part in national competitions to design anti-bullying posters whilst Year 9 produced the Theme of the Week noticeboard. Pupils wore the blue anti-bullying wrist bands which served not only to show solidarity with the victims of bullying but also act as a reminder of where help and advice can be found.

Peter Allott, Deputy Head at St Benedict's, said: "Our mission of 'Teaching a way of living' makes it a particular imperative to deal with bullying when it occurs. By making a noise about bullying this week, everyone in our community has been reminded of the importance of tackling bullying immediately."
