The Firs School, located in Chester is the leading independent school for girls and boys aged 0-11 years old; the school recently hosted a one-day anti-bullying behaviour training session run by The Diana Award. Primary school children from four local schools, worked work together and acquired vital skills to enable them to change the attitudes and behaviours of bullying in their school by building their skills and confidence to address different situations, both off and online.
The Diana Award’s free Anti-Bullying Ambassador Programme, which is available to schools across the UK, sees trainers working with students and other young people to change the attitude surrounding bullying behaviour both across the UK and beyond. The programme has a strong peer-to-peer focus, with trainers giving young people the skills and confidence to become Anti-Bullying Ambassadors to tackle bullying in their schools long after the training has finished. The Diana Award’s anti-bullying work is recognised as world-class thanks to this sustainable approach.
The training looks at bullying behaviour in different situations including face-to-face and online. At the end of the day, pupils created an action plan of how to approach bullying issues that may arise in their schools and commit to their roles as Anti-Bullying Ambassadors.
Rosemary Evans Moore, Head teacher at The Firs School in Chester, comments: “We were delighted to host the Diana Trust Anti-bullying event at the Firs School. It is so important that we all share and develop best practises in our school and do our part to counter the bullying behaviour culture. At The Firs School in we feel passionate about providing a very nurturing environment for our children
and by raising awareness and encouraging children across the UK to speak out we aim to help stamp out all forms of bullying for good, across all educational settings.”
