Anti-Bullying Week
We’re thrilled to once again deliver the School Staff Award in Wales with our friends at The Anti Bullying Alliance. In 2021, we partnered with the Anti Bullying Alliance, and launched the first School Staff Award Wales – an award for school staff who go beyond the call of duty to support children and young people with issues such as bullying, family life, relationships and health. The unique and wonderful thing about this award is that nominations are made by children and young people and the winners are chosen by a panel of young people.
This year, we received the highest number of nominations in Wales than the previous 2 years, which is fantastic. Please see our 2023 winners below.
Competition this year has been stiff – with over 400 nominations across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It was the unenviable job of the Anti-Bullying Alliance’s panel of children & young people to decide the winners.
We are delighted that Radnor Fam supported the School Staff Award Wales and provided prizes for the Primary and Secondary School award winners. Every single member of school staff that was nominated received a certificate of nomination, and the winners received a framed certificate, trophy and for schools in England and Wales a lovely trip away.
The Winners Are …
Miss Houston, St Peter’s RC Primary School, Cardiff
Miss Houston with her award, Mr Rein (School Headteacher), BulliesOut & the pupil that nominated her
“I have nominated Miss Houston because she takes time for us to understand the lesson and make fun things happen like in emergen days. She uses her own time to do these things for my class and she always listens to people’s answers and accepts the answer so she can explain our mistakes. She does fun things like the way she sings a sentence in a song and we have to finish the lyrics. She talks to us about being a good friend and tells us to use kind hands kind feet and kind actions and to include everyone in our games like how i play with a new girl in our class so she can be included in our games. Miss Houston is very helpful when we are stuck in our work we will put our hand up and she will come to us and explain our problem to us.”
Miss Sana Ali, Blackwood Comprehensive School
“Miss Ali is kind and caring: She taught us how to react to different types of bullying and listens when someone is talking about something that is going on.”
Congratulations to Miss Houston and Miss Ali from everyone at BulliesOut, The Anti Bullying Alliance and Radnor Fam
