Anti-Bullying Ambassadors
Whilst we have a fantastic team of adults for students to access, we also encourage peer support for struggles such as peer issues and bullying as students can better empathise with and learn from one another when they are going through similar experiences.
Our aim is to raise awareness of bullying and we now have Anti-Bullying ambassadors. These are students who are trained in spotting the signs of bullying, and act as points of contact for anyone requiring support. They are then able to alert the pastoral team of any concerns, so that they can be acted upon. In seeing these ambassadors show compassion and kindness to others, as well as an intolerance to bullying, we hope they will act as role models and other students are then more likely to admire this behaviour and incorporate it into their own interactions with their peers.
