Anti-Bullying Week 2024: Choose Respect
Anti-Bullying Week: Standing Together with Respect!
Hello, Finstock families! We’re thrilled to kick off Anti-Bullying Week here at school, a time to celebrate the power of respect, kindness, and unity! Today all our pupils made a simple but powerful pledge: to choose respect, no matter what. Respect isn’t just for close friends; it’s for everyone!
Here’s what we were up to:
Pledge of Respect – In each classroom, our children pledged to choose respect, even when it’s tough. We discussed how showing respect helps everyone feel safe and valued at school.
I choose, you choose, we choose respect!
Respect in Action – Throughout the week, we’ll encourage the children to suggest ways we can all show respect. Ideas might include sharing a kind word, helping someone in need, or agreeing to disagree respectfully. Together, we’re making sure our school is a place where everyone feels welcome and appreciated.
Odd Socks Day – Today we wore odd socks to celebrate how unique we all are! This is one of the fun highlights of the week and a great way to remind ourselves to respect everyone’s differences.
School-Wide Expectations – Our commitment to respect is year-round! We’re reminding everyone—children, teachers, parents, and visitors—that respect is the foundation of our school. When we choose kindness and respect, we’re helping to build a happier, safer school for all.
Special Video Screening and Discussion – We’ll be watching a film clip together to dive deeper into the meaning of respect. Afterward, we’ll chat about the key messages: What does respect look like? Who deserves respect? And what difference can we make by choosing kindness over bullying? You can watch the video below.
At Finstock CE Primary School, we believe everyone can help create a school where respect is at the heart of everything we do.
Thank you to everyone for joining in this week so far, and let’s continue to live out this pledge every day—because respect is for life, not just for Anti-Bullying Week!
Let’s make a difference together!
