In June 2023, Loxwood Primary School were invited to take part in the Anti-Bullying Ambassador training programme as part of The Diana Award.
What are we doing?
Loxwood Primary School are proud to have six trained Anti-Bullying Ambassadors who are now working with Mrs Swann to earn badges for the school.
The Ambassadors meet once a month to measure their progress.
We have already been awarded our Wellbeing, Inclusion and Community Badges. We have focused on encouraging positive wellbeing, spreading kindness and strengthening the peer-support system in our community through understanding.
Here is some feedback received from The Diana Award team about our application for the Inclusion Badge:
You are being awarded the Anti-Bullying Ambassador Inclusion Badge because you have shown:
-
Your commitment to building students’ knowledge of diversity and inclusion through your informative assembly.
- Your dedication to ensuring your library is inclusive of all different communities and backgrounds.
-
Your commitment to raising awareness of your inclusion work with your newsletter piece.
- Your successful efforts to celebrate diversity in school with a visual display. We love your creativity!
- Your dedication to rewarding respectful and inclusive behaviour by introducing the 'Celebrating Respectful Behaviour Awards.' It's great that you included your wider school community in this action!
Well done for all your successful efforts to create an inclusive school environment - you have truly embodied all that the Inclusion Badge represents!
From the start of the school year, 2024-2025, we have continued to work on sharing our understanding of bullying behaviour and how to prevent it.
We delivered an exciting assembly during Anti-Bullying week and launched a Positivi-tee Design competition. We asked the children to design a t-shirt with a positive, bold and kind design to reflect our Anti-Bullying message.
We had entries from every child in the school and Mrs Walker, our Wellbeing Governor, chose several designs that were Highly Commended and an Infant and a Junior winner. These children received t-shirts with their design printed on them in a special assembly!
Keep an eye out for even more new projects in and around the school, such as our Kindness Pledge Wall. We have all signed it to commit to keeping a kind and happy school environment!
