Anti-Bullying Week 2026 KS3–KS4 Pack
KS3–KS4 Anti-Bullying Week 2026 lessons exploring ‘Break the Silence’, bystanders, courage and safe ways to challenge bullying and support others.
This Anti-Bullying Week 2026 lesson pack includes two ready-to-teach PSHE lessons for KS3 and KS4, both based around the 2026 theme “Break the Silence.”
The lessons explore bullying, bystander behaviour, courage, kindness and practical ways students can respond when they see bullying or experience it themselves.
The KS3 lesson introduces the different roles involved in bullying and explores how bystanders can break the silence, while the KS4 lesson develops this further by examining the bystander effect, active and passive bystanders, and safe ways to take action.
Ideal for Anti-Bullying Week, PSHE, tutor time, assemblies or Personal Development lessons.
