The WOW-day anchor for your Anti-Bullying Week

Every primary in the UK runs something for Anti-Bullying Week. The best-remembered ones anchor the week with a hands-on WOW moment — an assembly-plus-workshop combination that pupils talk about at home, not another form-time slide deck.

Our Look After Their Mind workshop is our most-booked Anti-Bullying Week session. It's a differentiated hands-on day: EYFS and KS1 explore feelings and kindness through story and puppetry; Years 3-4 practice bystander scenarios; Years 5-6 tackle digital citizenship, low-level cruelty, and how to speak to a trusted adult. Ofsted-mapped, KCSIE-aligned, and left-behind teacher pack for the rest of the week.

What's included in the workshop

1

Whole-school assembly

A 20-minute WOW opener setting up the theme of the week — kindness, empathy, standing up. Sets the tone for pupils to arrive at their workshop primed to engage.

2

4 or 7 differentiated sessions

Half day: 4 sessions covering up to 128 pupils. Full day: 7 sessions covering up to 224 pupils. Each session pitched to the year group in front of us — Reception looks different to Year 6.

3

Bystander action scenarios

KS2 pupils practice real scenarios: what to do when you see a friend being excluded, how to speak up without becoming a target, how to escalate to a trusted adult.

4

Digital citizenship module (Y5-6)

Upper KS2 tackles online cruelty, group-chat pressure, and where to find help (Childline, Report Remove, Kooth). Practical, not preachy.

5

Teacher pack for the full week

Assembly script for the following day, tutor-time discussion prompts (Tue/Wed/Thu), Odd Socks Day activity ideas, home-learning task, and one A4 PSHE evidence sheet for your subject leader file.

6

KCSIE 2024-referenced safeguarding pack

Sent with your booking confirmation. All facilitators Enhanced DBS-checked. Named DSL on the day. Photo consent handled to your school's policy.

How schools typically use us during ABW

Option 1 — Monday anchor. Book for Monday 16 November. The WOW workshop sets up the week; teachers run the follow-up activities in your teacher pack Tuesday to Friday. Most Ofsted-ready.

Option 2 — Odd Socks Day (Mon 10 Nov). Combine the workshop with Odd Socks Day for maximum whole-school visibility. Pupils arrive in odd socks, join the assembly, do the workshop, tweet about it. Excellent for social media / school newsletter.

Option 3 — Bookend the week. Book for Friday 20 November to consolidate — pupils reflect on what they've learned, teachers get a fresh energy boost, and the messages carry into the weekend.

Option 4 — Ahead of the week. Book late October or early November to prime the week. Teachers use the pack to build up to ABW, then run their own culminating events.

Common questions

When is Anti-Bullying Week 2026?

Monday 16 November to Friday 20 November 2026, coordinated by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. The 2026 theme is announced by the ABA in early autumn — our workshop is theme-agnostic and covers the full ABW curriculum regardless.

Do you cover EYFS as well as KS2?

Yes. The Look After Their Mind workshop is differentiated across EYFS, KS1 and KS2. Reception and Year 1 focus on kindness and feelings; Years 2-4 focus on empathy and being an active bystander; Years 5-6 focus on standing up, digital citizenship, and how to speak to a trusted adult.

Can we run this alongside our own Anti-Bullying Week programme?

Yes — most schools use the workshop as their WOW-day anchor, then run follow-up activities (Odd Socks Day, kindness assemblies, tutor time discussions) across the week using our teacher pack.

How much does an Anti-Bullying Week workshop cost?

£499 half day (up to 128 pupils, 4 sessions) or £599 full day (up to 224 pupils, 7 sessions) + VAT. Future Skills mission-led pricing. All resources, teacher pack and follow-up materials included.

How far in advance should we book?

For Anti-Bullying Week itself (16-20 Nov 2026) we recommend booking by early September as those five days fill first. If those dates are full, we run the same workshop across the surrounding weeks — schools often programme it for early November to lead into ABW or late November to consolidate the message.

Can we combine this with our PSHE year plan?

Yes. Our Whole-School Programme maps out one workshop per half term across the year, with Look After Their Mind as the Autumn 2 anchor and Anti-Bullying Week its natural moment. Pair with our Skills Passport for weekly follow-through.
