Wesley Methodist Primary School in Radcliffe spreads kindness

Wesley Methodist Primary School, in Radcliffe, marked Anti-Bullying Week with a '14 Days of Kindness' campaign.

The school, which is part of the Epworth Education Trust, saw pupils take part in activities such as creating 'kindness postcards', making artwork for a resident's home, and litter picking around the school grounds.

Rhys Jones, headteacher at Wesley, said: "At Wesley Methodist Primary School, we take bullying very seriously and do our utmost to support all our children.

"For Anti-Bullying Week this year, we wanted to look at bullying from a different perspective and demonstrate to pupils how even the smallest act of kindness can have the biggest impact on a person’s day, week, and life."

Each classroom also took on a unique kindness challenge, extending their acts of goodwill into the local community.

A highlight this year was the Year 4 children writing letters and making friendship bracelets for children currently receiving care at Derian House Children’s Hospice in Chorley.

Mr Jones said: "Acts of kindness can be as simple as sharing a smile, helping a sibling, holding doors open, or reaching out to someone who may be alone during break.

"We hope that these letters and bracelets will bring a little joy and connection to the children, letting them know they have friends thinking of them."

Julie-Ann Hewitt, CEO of Epworth Education Trust, said: "It's inspiring to see pupils at Wesley leading the way in kindness and compassion.

"Their generosity, a core value of our Trust, is truly inspiring.

"Their efforts are a timely reminder of the positivity we can put into the world when we each ‘do all we can’."
