CARR Hill High School are making their stance on bullying clear by hosting a range of activities in a bid to raise awareness about bullying.
The Kirkham school are marking Anti – Bullying week by producing their own campaign and holding a range of activities for students and parents to help prevent bullying.
Over 200 students took part in a giant photograph spelling out Carr Hill High School’s attitude towards bullying – ‘We Don’t Do Bullying’ – and this mantra has been rolled out throughout school.
The ‘Respect’ campaign has taken over with a large public zone being renamed the ‘Respect Zone’ where information on bullying and how it can be prevented is being displayed for students.
Along with this students will be sticking their pledges against bullying onto posters in the ‘Respect Zone’ and a large ‘Tree of Respect’ has been created for students to write on fruit shaped notes how they have been respectful.
Each student has been given a limited edition Proud to Belong card and ‘We Don’t Do Bullying’ wristbands are available to buy so students can show their support towards the ‘Respect’ campaign.
A parent’s event is being held at the Royal Avenue school on Monday evening by Cheryl Witton, Social Media Safety Worker from Fylde Coast Women’s Aid, to help raise awareness about the problems of cyber bullying and how to remain safe while using social media sites.
Assistant Headteacher Mrs Coby McKeon said: ““At Carr Hill our stance about bullying is very clear: when any concerns are brought to our attention they are dealt with immediately.
“Raising awareness with the students about how to deal with bullying has proven very effective and the activities going on this week will contribute to our firm stance against bullying. At Carr Hill simply “We Don’t Do Bullying!”
Anti -Bullying has a very high profile within school and the awareness of bullying has been raised in various areas of school life including through teaching in a range of lessons and by holding assemblies and talks from outside agencies which have a great impact.
In the school’s most recent OFSTED inspection during October, inspectors said that: “Bullying is rare and is dealt with rapidly by the school if it occurs.”
