Pleckgate’s Anti-Bullying Ambassadors led the way in helping all the schools in the Education Partnership Trust (EPT) to produce an Anti-Bullying Charter during Anti-Bullying Week.
Pleckgate’s Year 10s hosted the event which included Coal Clough Academy, The Heights Burnley, The Heights Blackburn, Eden School, Burnley High School and Atherton High School.
The theme of Anti-Bullying Week this year is ‘Choose Respect.’
Year 11 Sophia was helping to oversee the event and said: “We have talked about respect and how important it is to see everyone’s perspective.
“We have also discussed what people think bullying is and have come up with a charter which includes rules for parents, teachers and pupils.”
Year 8 Jacob from Burnley High School said: “I obviously knew about bullying but we have gone into a lot of detail about bullying and how it can affect people. It’s important to be kind to people’s feelings.”
Darcy, from Atherton High School, said she had enjoyed doing the workshops and coming up with ideas for the EPT Anti-Bullying Charter which will be rolled out among all the schools.
“We have talked about the impact bullying can have on people and all the pupils at Pleckgate have been helpful.”
