Shireland students achieve anti-bullying community badge

Students at 91全能 have been recognised for their contributions as Anti-Bullying Ambassadors after completing their Community Badge, delivered in partnership with The Diana Award.听听

The programme saw the group lead a series of initiatives over the academic year aimed at fostering a supportive and respectful school environment. Their work formed part of the听Academy鈥檚 wider pastoral and student leadership programme, with a focus on strengthening community cohesion.听

Examples of these activities included听supporting activities during Anti-Bullying听Week, and听contributing听to ongoing initiatives designed to promote kindness across the school, including Random Acts of Kindness campaigns.听

Students also听played an active role in Culture Day, helping to celebrate diversity across the听Academy. They also supported peers through initiatives such as听鈥楲anguage Buddies鈥櫶齛nd听鈥楽afe Space Thursdays鈥�,听and worked in partnership with Prime Agency, which delivers PSHE-focused workshops in schools using live music and performance, as part of their wider development programme.听

As part of their training, the ambassadors completed the听鈥楬ow to Be an Upstander鈥櫶齪rogramme, which focused on recognising and responding to bullying behaviour and supporting fellow students effectively.听

Principal, Thomas Daly,听said: 鈥�We place real value on giving students opportunities to lead, contribute and take responsibility for the culture of our school. The Anti-Bullying Ambassadors programme has been a strong example of that in practice.听

鈥�Our students have worked with real purpose and maturity, not only supporting their peers but helping to shape everyday experiences across the听Academy. Programmes like this are important because they help young people develop confidence,听empathy听and leadership in real contexts, which is exactly what we want them to take forward into their lives beyond school.鈥�听

It is widely recognised for its youth-led and sustainable approach to culture change in schools.听
