Published Date:

THE PRINCESS Diana Anti-Bullying Award has been won by an Eastbourne school.
Ratton School's peer support group was presented with the award recently by East Sussex County Council chairman Bob Lacey.
The award was given to group members in recognition of their proactive approach to bullying in the school.
The students have received training in which they have been taught to recognise signs of unhappiness in other students, engage them in conversation, offer support and help them to solve relationship problems.
The members do their most valuable work at lunch or break times when some students may otherwise feel vulnerable and isolated.
It is this willingness to give of their own time that has led to the award.
In January it is due to present its work at a Specialist Schools Trust event in Gravesend.
