Anti-Bullying Week 2025

What is Anti-Bullying Week?

Anti-Bullying Week is an annual UK event which aims to raise awareness of bullying and to highlight ways of preventing and responding to it. In England, Anti-Bullying Week is organised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance, which is a network of more than 100 member organisations (including us!) all united against bullying.

What’s Happening This Year?

The theme of Anti-Bullying Week is Power for Good.

The theme of Power for Good has come about following consultation with teachers and pupils by the Anti-Bullying Alliance which coordinates Anti-Bullying Week every year in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Teachers and children wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes.

In previous years, 80% of schools marked Anti-Bullying Week in their calendars, meaning it reached over 7.5 million young people! This year, let’s make it even bigger!

Our World Kindness Day Assembly!

This year, we’re marking Anti-Bullying Week with our virtual World Kindness Day Assemblies. These will take place on Thursday 13th November 2025 and are free for all primary schools. Our assemblies were fully booked last year, so make sure you book quickly to secure your school’s place. We will also have a World Kindness Day Resource Pack for schools.

How Can Your School Get Involved? 

To get your school involved in Anti-Bullying Week, you can download a range of free resources from the ABA website, including lesson plans and themed assemblies for different key stages. At The School of Kindness we also have a range of free teaching resources that you can download here. 

If you’d like to spread even more kindness at your school, you can request a Kindness Workshop from us here at The School of Kindness, which is totally free and a great way to inspire children to respect others and spread kindness.
