  • Links and Transitions Project; Secondary and their feeder Primary schools join together for a day in anti-bullying week. An example of how this could happen is where a selection (suggest a group of 20 pupils) of current primary year 6 pupils create a short performance piece showing their concerns about bullying in Secondary school which is performed to a selection (suggest a group of 20 students) of Students from the Secondary school. Everyone involved then spend 90 minutes exploring the performance piece in an active way such as through role-play, circle time, and frozen imagery. The results can then be fed back to all schools involved through assembly or small group active discussion
  • Set up an anti-bullying poetry competition - hold prize giving in anti-bullying week
  • Get students to create their own anti-bullying policy which can be voted on by the school in assembly during anti-bullying week
