To launch Anti-Bullying Week, children across the school took part in a fun and meaningful Odd Socks Day celebration. The day was designed to highlight the importance of recognising and respecting what makes each of us unique, while also reminding everyone that being kind and inclusive helps create a happy and supportive school community.

Throughout the day, every class enjoyed getting creative by designing and making their own sock puppets, each one as individual and imaginative as the children themselves. The activity encouraged pupils to express their personalities, work together, and celebrate their differences in a positive and collaborative way.

As part of the event, children took part in discussions about what it means to be different and why it’s so important to treat everyone with respect and kindness. They explored how our unique qualities and perspectives make the school a richer and more interesting place, and that understanding and accepting others helps build strong friendships and a caring community.

Odd Socks Day helped reinforce the key message that bullying is never okay. Every child has a right to feel safe, valued, and included at school, and we all have a role to play in making that happen. By celebrating individuality and standing up for kindness, our pupils showed that together we can make a real difference in creating a culture where everyone feels they belong.
