We were awarded the BIG award from the Bullying Intervention Group for our efforts to promote anti bullying within the school.
Burnham Grammar School has an anti-bullying ambassador for each house at each Key Stage 3 and 4. We are in the process of recruiting more and Key Stage 5 ambassadors.
As a group, their aim is to be role models and ambassadors to promote anti bullying and any campaigns in support of anti-bullying within the school. They come will be in charge of coming up with ideas and discussing the views of the rest of their house.
We are hoping to run an interhouse competition with an anti-bullying theme every half term. Students current ideas are: designing the ambassador badge, an anti-bullying home page as well as a poster competition.
