29.06.23 – Anti-Bullying Award for Holden Lane Primary, Staffordshire Apprenticeship Graduation Ceremony
Written by Hitmix Local News on 28 June 2023
The Anti-Bullying Quality Mark is a national scheme which endorses how good schools are at preventing bullying. It challenges them to establish effective, sustainable anti-bullying policies and strategies.
Holden Lane Primary School is the first school in England to achieve the ABQM-UK Gold Award because staff, students, families and Governors demonstrated that anti-bullying has had a significant impact on the community.
The pupils and staff have worked really hard to build a safe and supportive environment for expressing their feelings and managing their behaviour. This means that pupils are far less likely to get involved in bullying behaviour.
Head teacher Clare Thomas said: “We would like to congratulate Sharon Reece for her resilience and dedication to securing this really impressive achievement for the Holden Lane community, as well as her colleagues, governors, pupils and parents/carers for their commitment to anti-bullying. We hope that the Gold Award recognises their efforts and inspires them to continue to strengthen their anti-bullying policy and practice for the benefit of the local community”.
