During Tutor Time last week, students took part in activities and discussions as part of Anti Bullying Week.

This year’s theme was ‘Make a Noise about Bullying’, with the main topic being ‘Banter vs. Bullying’ which came about following consultation with teachers and pupils by the Anti-Bullying Alliance which coordinates Anti-Bullying Week every year in the UK. ‘We wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes. The nature of the activities will encourage young people to consider what bullying means to us, how banter can turn into something more hurtful, and what we can do to stop bullying. ‘

The Winter Music Concert on 5 December was a tremendous success.  As always, we had a wide variety of acts in the concert, ranging from solo performers through to our large ensembles (Pop Choir, Wind Band, Steel Pans and String Group).
