Anti-Bullying Week 2024

21st November 2024Fiona Goodwin

This week, we proudly celebrated Anti-Bullying Week 2024 with the inspiring theme of ‘Showing Acts of Kindness Every Day’. Our children wholeheartedly embraced this message, voting to make kindness the heart of our efforts – and we couldn’t be prouder of their dedication!

Highlights of the Week:

Team Communicators led the way, recognising and celebrating acts of kindness across the school. They awarded certificates to children who went above and beyond to show thoughtfulness and care, spreading positivity throughout our community.
To conclude the week, the Team Communicators shared a special gesture with every child – a heartfelt note of thanks for their kindness. These meaningful tokens reminded us all of the power of small acts to make a big difference.

A huge well done to everyone at West Boldon Primary School! This week, you demonstrated how kindness can help create a culture of care, empathy, and inclusion, showing the world what it means to build a bully-free community.

Let’s continue to carry this message forward, every day!

Kindness Assembly – The Giving Project

24th October 2024Fiona Goodwin

We were very happy to welcome Mathew from Vision for Education to do an assembly for the children all about Kindness and the Giving Project.

The children very much enjoyed listening to Mathew and to learn how kindness can spread so much happiness to everyone and it is free! Showing empathy, compassion and thoughtfulness can uplift others, by showing that you care.

The children who attend The GIving Project, which runs in school and is organised by Mrs Bingham, all received a special reward too. The children were thanked for their kindness for volunteering their spare time to make things for others, in the school and the local community.
