Why anti-bullying week matters
Anti-bullying week is an annual campaign that raises awareness about bullying in schools and communities. It encourages children, teachers and parents to work together to promote kindness, respect and inclusion. Using an assembly is one of the most effective ways to reach your whole school community with this important message.
How to use this Anti-Bullying Week assembly
- Review the teaching notes and PowerPoint slides in advance, and ask one or two colleagues to help with the delivery
- Begin with the 'pen pot' scenario to introduce the concept of self-bullying in a way children can relate to
- Share relatable examples of negative self-talk and show children how to replace these with kinder, more supportive thoughts
- Finish by encouraging children to treat themselves with the same kindness they'd show their best friend
What makes this anti-bullying week assembly unique is its focus on both external bullying and negative self-talk. Many assemblies overlook how harshly children speak to themselves, but this resource addresses both issues head-on. It's a practical, engaging way to promote a culture of kindness throughout your school.
