Anti-Bullying Week ideas for secondary
Resources to help you address the consequences of bullying with your secondary students
Anti-Bullying Week takes place between 12 - 16 November. To aid your preparations for this year’s theme of “choose respect”, we’ve rounded up a selection of our favourite assemblies, lesson plans and practical classroom ideas.
Assembly ideas
Check out this selection of assembly resources ranging from an overview of bullying in all its forms, cyberbullying and the effects of bullying on young people and ways in which to deal with it.
Anti-Bullying Assembly
Secondary Cyberbullying Assembly Plan
This is an Assembly Plan aimed at all pupils. We have adapted it slightly to suit both younger and older pupils depending on the topics you wish to raise with them. It looks at what cyberbullying is, how it can affect young people and what to do about it, including top tips.

Anti Bullying
PSHE Bullying 12x fully resourced, highly rated lessons all complete with starters, worksheets, clips, differentiated to three levels throughout and one assembly. Perfect for anti-bullying week.
The lessons and assembly focus on not just the obvious things like how bullying is wrong, but why people do it, the different ways people discriminate against each other, cyber bullying, where misconceptions about difference originate from and how people have overcome prejudice and adversity.
Suitable for KS3/4 but could be adapted.
I use all of these myself as a Head of PSHE and I really hope you find them excellent value.

Digital citizenship: Young peoples’ rights on social media - Teaching pack for 11-14 year olds
• a short, six-lesson unit of work written by teacher and citizenship specialist Emily Cotterill (ECResources), and
• jargon-free terms and conditions for five of the major social media sites, produced by the Children’s Commissioner for England and privacy specialists, Schillings
The Children’s Commissioner is committed to raising young peoples’ awareness of their online rights and is working in partnership with Tes to enable children to become better informed digital citizens.
These lessons have been designed to enhance citizenship and computing curriculums around the world. By the end of the unit, we hope that students will be able to:
• Understand that there are different kinds of responsibilities and rights, and that they can sometimes conflict with one another
• Understand why and how rules and laws are made and enforced, and why different rules are needed in different situations
• Think critically, behave safely and participate responsibly in the digital world
• Recognise unacceptable online behaviour and ways to report concerns about content
Note: These lessons have been devised according to simplified versions of social media T&Cs relevant to the UK. While there may be some variation in other countries, the general principles are transferable.
