Anti-bullying week

Last week Mr Budge led an assembly to explore the theme of anti-bullying following the national anti-bullying week in late November. Read more about anti-bullying here. 

The focus for this year's anti-bullying campaign is 'Reach Out'. This promotes the idea of challenging unkind behaviours by reaching out to someone. You can watch a video about this here. In school, we want you to reach out to an adult if you notice something that you think might be bullying. You can talk to your teacher or TA, Miss Elliot, Mrs Hughes, Mrs Beech, Mr Budge, Mrs Brown...anyone! There is always someone who will want to help. You could use the school worry button to report your worry. 

At RAPS we know that being kind is a wonderful way to make ourselves and others feel happy and safe. As a school community we always aim to learn and play with respect and care for one another. 

We learn about the British Values. Part of this includes exploring the values of mutual respect, individual liberty and tolerance. We also learn about our core values of diversity and collaboration to help us show kindness. We also develop our understanding of these themes through our termly PSHE lessons and focused assemblies that relate to this. 

With this in mind, let's all continue to act with kindness to spread positivity every day.
