Home School Workshops PSHE Anti-bullying

Anti-bullying

Bullying can be a tricky issue to explore in school, and so we’ve created a drama workshop that helps children learn what bullying is, how it can happen and what to do to seek support – all delivered through drama and creativity, making the session fun, interactive and non-threatening.

If you feel that you need to explore bullying with your pupils, then a drama workshop can be a really innovative way of engaging pupils in the subject – giving them ownership of their own learning and allowing them to reach their own conclusions about what is fair and right.

Topics covered

Our workshops allow children to begin valuing difference and diversity, encouraging them to see the special qualities in themselves and others and exploring what makes each of us unique. Through specially planned drama activities, children will also develop confidence, self-esteem, communication and team work skills which will feed into their work back in class and their attitude to themselves and others.

If you book an Anti-Bullying drama workshop we will ask you about the key topics you’d like us to explore to tailor your workshop to your needs. We will also always ensure your pupils learn the following areas of the RSE & Health Education guidance:

Caring friendships, including the characteristics of healthy friendships, the ups and downs of friendship and about trust.

Respectful relationships, including the importance of respecting others as well as self-respect and respectful boundaries.

Being safe, including recognising and reporting bullying, who to talk to and how to ask for advice for themselves and / others.

Mental wellbeing, including exploring the range of emotions human beings feel and how to recognise and talk about emotions and that bullying has a negative and, often, lasting impact on wellbeing.

All of our workshops are completely inclusive, so all children can get involved and achieve.

Please note we do not offer a Learn & Perform Day for Key Stage 1 pupils.

Getting the best out of your Anti-bullying drama workshop

Our workshops need to take place in the school hall ideally, securing this space for the day of the workshop will help it run really smoothly (we can absolutely move into a classroom for lunchtime set up if needed)
Make sure a teacher or TA will be present in the workshop to support the pupils and help us understand their needs.
If you would like pupils to dress up we are happy for you to do this! We don’t provide costumes (as we don’t feel they are needed for the learning to take place) but we can always help with ideas of what to wear if you want to do this.
