Stratford supported Anti-Bullying week (15th - 19th November) by highlighting this year’s theme is ‘One Kind Word’ at form tutor time. Form tutors also did sociograms with their class groups.
The Anti-Bullying Alliance website said: “Kindness is more important today than it has ever been. The isolation of the last year has underlined how little acts of consideration can break down barriers and brighten the lives of the people around us. This is one of the reasons that ‘One Kind Word’ has been chosen as the theme of Anti-Bullying Week taking place from 15 to 19 of November 2021”.
The Alliance asked over 400 young people, teachers and parents what they wanted from this year’s Anti-Bullying Week and they were told people wanted anti-bullying work to be about hope and the positive and kind things we can do “to halt hurtful behaviour in its tracks”.
