National campaign to come together and reach out to stop bullying
National campaign to come together and reach out to stop bullying
For our PSHE programme this week, we have been holding an Anti-Bullying Week across the school. This is a national campaign organised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance and reaches millions of young people every year.
The theme for this year is ‘Reach Out’ to remind everyone to let’s reach out and show each other the support we need, whether it’s in school, at home, in the community or online.
We know that students and parents/carers recognise that Spalding Academy has a zero-tolerance to bullying and campaigns such as this helps reinforce the message that it is essential to put a stop to bullying whether online or offline and everyone should feel they can reach out for support.

The Anti-Bullying 'Reach Out' Campaign
- Bullying affects millions of lives and can leave us feeling hopeless. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If we challenge it, we can change it. And it starts by reaching out.
- Whether it’s in school, at home, in the community or online, let’s reach out and show each other the support we need. Reach out to someone you trust if you need to talk. Reach out to someone you know is being bullied. Reach out and consider a new approach.
- And it doesn’t stop with young people. From teachers to parents and influencers to politicians, we all have a responsibility to help each other reach out. Together, let’s be the change we want to see. Reflect on our own behaviour, set positive examples and create kinder communities.
- It takes courage, but it can change lives. So, this Anti-Bullying Week, let’s come together and reach out to stop bullying.
