House of Commons Visit: Action Breaks Silence

The School is thrilled to be working with Action Breaks Silence, a charitable organisation that educates young people about eradicating violence against women and girls. They promote a “whole schools approach”, which is used to engage, educate and empower all members of a school's community, including school governors, senior management, staff, students, parents and care-givers to end violence against women and girls in schools and in surrounding communities.  Our Post 16 students have 10 weeks of training to prepare them to work with primary school students in our area.  We are delighted to be involved with this organisation and its work.

This programme has not only educated me on the important issues that our society is facing, but it has also helped to develop my confidence. Every Monday, I work with Year 5 pupils, teaching them about different forms of abuse and helping them understand what healthy relationships look like.

Last month, I also had the opportunity to represent Action Breaks Silence at the House of Commons, where we shared the work we have been doing with pupils at Cranford Primary School. It was a proud moment to speak about the impact of the programme and the importance of educating young people about respect, safety and healthy relationships."
