PUPILS and staff at a Bromsgrove school wore odd socks to symbolise the nationwide Anti-Bullying Week motto - 'All equal, all different'.

St Peter's Catholic First School supported the awareness scheme with a week of art, media and group projects to strengthen pupils' positive attitudes towards the school community.

Head teacher Catherine Clubley said: "Anti-Bullying Week is a very important week in schools nationally. Our classrooms, playgrounds and assembly hall buzz with children sharing positive behaviour and anti-bullying messages through discussion, artwork, media and presentations.

"The whole school community uses the week as an opportunity to refocus our minds on the important messages of tolerance and respect.”
