During this week, students and staff at the academy will be supporting the Anti-Bullying Alliance's Anti-Bullying Week.

To start the week off we got involved in the Odd Socks Day with both staff and students wearing some fabulous odd socks.  Each year over 5 million children, thousands of parents hundreds of workplaces and even Ant and Dec and Sir Mo Farah donned their odd socks to celebrate Anti-Bullying Week and what makes us all unique.   

Bullying affects millions of lives and can leave us feeling hopeless. But if we challenge it, we can change it. And it starts by reaching out.

It doesn’t stop with young people. From teachers to parents and influencers to politicians, we all have a part to play. Reach out to someone you trust if you need to talk. Reach out to someone if you know they’re being bullied. Reach out by being the change you want to see.

It takes courage, but it can change lives.

So, this Anti-Bullying Week, let’s come together and reach out to stop bullying.
