Respect awareness

Anti-bullying work recognised nationally

The Diana Award Trust, an organisation that works nationally with thousands of young people has recognised the valuable work conducted in St Margaret’s Church of England Academy Year 7 respect programme.
In awarding second prize, in their anti-bullying competition, the judges commented: “As a team we really enjoyed reading your entry… the hard work from your students really stood out to us. You showed your whole school working together as part of an inspirational team.”
The respect programme is based around the eight core values of their school.
The Diana Awards run the anti-bullying ambassadors programme, a nationwide peer led initiative, with over 5,000 trained Ambassadors in over 600 schools across the UK.
St Margaret’s hosted a training day which brought together young people from primary and secondary schools, of all ages and abilities, across the region to be trained as anti-bullying ambassadors.
The young people creatively explored and understood the issue of bullying and gained practical ideas and top tips on how to stop bullying.
