• Brand New Bike Shed Opening Ceremony!

  Wed 22 Sep 2021 S.Bourne

  Pupils at Witton Middle School were thrilled to meet the British number 1 4X pro rider Scott Beaumont when he cut the ribbon on their brand new bike shed. 

   

  Headteacher,  Suzie Bourne said "when the student council approached the Governing Body with the proposal for a new bike shed with larger capacity and better weather protection, they agreed immediately. Many of our children take part in Bikeability lessons and learn how to ride to and from school safely alongside other road users. It is a great way to exercise and it was important that children could store their bikes securely at school. "

   

  Scott, whose hometown is Kidderminster, and who has been racing BMX and 4X bikes from a very young age,  shared his career highlights with pupils and inspired them with his passion for the sport. 

   

  

• Anti-Bullying Ambassadors complete accredited training.

  Wed 22 Sep 2021 S.Bourne

  Pupil leaders from Witton Middle School have successfully achieved their Anti-Bullying Ambassador awards.  

   

  Twenty children received specialist training from The Diana Award and are now qualified to lead in promoting awareness of bullying behaviours and encouraging kindness across the school.  The children learned all about what different types of bullying behaviours there can be,  and how to be an 'upstander' against bullying behaviours.  They are now poised to lead campaigns, assemblies and initiatives.  Iaean, aged 10, said "I chose to be an ambassador because I want an active role in the school community. I feel passionate about helping others."  

   

  Headteacher, Suzie Bourne said "We have worked hard to raise awareness of bullying behaviours and by training such a great team of Anti-Bullying Ambassadors we can send a very clear message throughout our whole school community that bullying behaviour or unkindness towards others with not be tolerated.  I am extremely proud that our pupils make sure that everyone feels safe and speak out to stop bullying quickly."

   

  The Diana Award, an organisation set up in memory of Princess Diana, honours young people who work to improve the lives of others and is the most prestigious accolade a young person can receive for their social action or humanitarian work.  The new anti-Bullying team will now work toward earning Diana Award badges for their work in the school and the community.
