Anti-Bullying League
At St Michael’s we take a proactive view on anti-bullying to ensure all pupils are free from bullying or harassment.
The league consists of two pupils from every class from Year 3 to Year 6, who meet on a regular basis with Miss Sims, the Anti Bullying Leader. The group act as liaison officers between the working party and their peers. Members of the league wear purple uniform in order stand out in school and on the playground. In this way other children can seek their help when it is needed.
The children discuss ideas as a class and then bring their thoughts and feelings to the league meetings. As a direct result of this an action plan is created and then implemented during the school year.
