    We're really proud to introduce our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors (ABAs) for this year! 💙 This fantastic group of pupils will be helping to make our school a kind, safe and supportive place for everyone. Their role includes listening to and supporting their peers, helping pupils know where to go for help, and reporting bullying concerns so that staff can follow them up. They'll also be involved in friendship and wellbeing activities, campaigns, displays and Anti-Bullying Week throughout the year. Here is our first ABA team photo 📸 We're really excited to see the positive difference they make across school. Listen. Support. Report.
