Our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors Take Their Message to the Airwaves
We are incredibly proud to share some fantastic news about the work of our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors, who today took their message beyond the school gates and onto the airwaves at BBC Radio Cumbria.
As a proud Anti-Bullying School working in partnership with the Diana Award, our students are trained to lead meaningful change; standing up for others, promoting kindness, and ensuring that everyone feels safe, valued and respected.
Today, a group of our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors spoke on BBC Radio Cumbria, where they met presenter Stephanie Finnon and spoke on air at 10.20am and 10.40am, sharing the incredible work they are leading in school. Their confidence, clarity and passion were exceptional, and they represented our school community with real pride.

Making a Real Difference
Over the past 12 months, our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors have already secured two of the three Diana Award Anti-Bullying badges:
- Inclusion
- Wellbeing
These awards recognise sustained, meaningful action led by students to challenge bullying and build a positive culture across the school.
The visit to BBC Radio Cumbria forms part of their work towards the Community Badge, which focuses on engaging the wider community and sharing anti-bullying messages beyond school. Reaching out to local media is a powerful step in amplifying student voice – and our ambassadors rose to the challenge brilliantly.
Student Voice in Action
What makes this achievement so special is that it is student-led. Our ambassadors are not just talking about change, they are creating it. By speaking publicly about bullying, inclusion and wellbeing, they are helping to educate others and encouraging young people to speak up and support one another.
This work reflects our core values of Respect, Endeavour, Compassion, Courage and Integrity, and shows what is possible when young people are trusted, trained and empowered to lead.
We could not be prouder of the students involved and the staff who support them. This is a powerful example of our commitment to ensuring that every young person feels safe, heard and able to thrive.
Huge congratulations to Mya Richmond-Chaffe, Theo Manyatsoe, Holly Doyle, Erin Wild, Faith Whitear, and Luke Grant. And of course to the wonderful staff supporting this programme, notably Ms Dunne and Mr Pattinson.
