Middleton Primary School was bursting with creativity, kindness, and community spirit last week as pupils and staff came together to celebrate Anti-Bullying Week.

This year’s national theme, ‘Power for Good’, inspired a range of exciting activities aimed at helping children recognise the positive impact their words and actions can have on others.

Across the entire school — from Reception to Year 6 —children took part in thoughtful discussions and hands-on learning about what it means to use their personal ‘power’ to make their school a safe, supportive place for everyone. Teachers reported enthusiastic engagement, with pupils sharing real-life examples of kindness, teamwork, and bravery.

One of the artistic highlights of the week was the creation of superhero collages. Each class designed vibrant characters equipped with special abilities that symbolised qualities such as empathy, courage, and fairness.

These colourful heroes now line the school corridors, reminding everyone that small actions can make a big difference. In literacy sessions, pupils enjoyed story-making workshops, in which they crafted imaginative tales about characters who use their powers for good. Many stories focused on standing up for others, solving problems peacefully, and spreading positivity. Teachers praised the children’s creativity and the thoughtful messages woven into their writing.

The week concluded with a heart-warming activity: nominating classmates and staff members who have shown their own ‘powers for good’. Whether it was helping a friend, offering a kind word, or setting a strong example, pupils were eager to celebrate the everyday heroes within their school.

Middleton Primary’s celebration of Anti-Bullying Week has not only filled the school with creativity and colour but has also strengthened its ongoing commitment to kindness, respect, and looking out for one another.
