Anti-Bullying Ambassadors

On Tuesday (World Mental Health Day) nine of our pupils volunteered to attend an Anti-Bullying Ambassador training workshop. This was led by The Diana Award Programme facilitators, who provide young people with the skills of how to raise awareness of bullying behaviour within their community. The award has a strong peer-to-peer focus and is headed up by our wonderful Deputy Head Girl and Mentoring Prefect, Urenna.

Mayfield is extremely proud to announce that we now have 14 trained Anti-Bullying Ambassadors amongst our community, who will be introducing themselves over the coming weeks.

Frances and Nana (Year 9), Sophie and Maggie (Year 10), Onnae, Alexa and Alicia (Year 11), Amelia, Julia, Ayo, Kseniia, Izzy and Cesca (Year 12), and Urenna (Year 13).

As part of the award, the school is able to gain badges that demonstrate our commitment to anti-bullying across three key areas; Inclusion, Wellbeing and the Community.

The team have decided that the first badge they will be working towards is the Wellbeing Badge, as this will align perfectly with the opening of the new Wellbeing Centre. The team will be launching events and initiatives that encourage positive wellbeing and kindness within the school community. We are hoping that working towards this badge will also strengthen the peer-to peer support systems within the school.
