We want to say a huge thank you to all the schools that we visited throughout November with our Anti-Bullying Workshops and Theatre Show to support them in celebrating Anti-Bullying Week 2024. This was an incredible month for OpenView Education seeing us visit more schools and work with more students than ever before.
During November We…
-
Performed 103 Anti-Bullying Theatre Shows.
-
Visited 146 schools.
-
Facilitated 716 Workshops.
-
Worked with 44,700 students.
These numbers represent the the fantastic work of our team to make a real difference in the lives of young people along with all the school staff we’ve had the pleasure of working with to arrange the events.
We were blown away by the positive feedback from the schools and teachers. Reading the feedback really motivates us to keep delivering highest-quality sessions.
Here is an example of the kinds of feedback our wonderful team recevied this November. These testimonials capture just a fraction of the impact our team has had this month:
“We just wanted to say that she was amazing! She was super flexible and did a great job engaging and motivating our students. Her ability to connect with the children made a significant difference in our experience.”
“Thank you so much to Mike for an excellent day of assembly and workshops. The children were fully engaged and really enjoyed it. They especially liked the puppets in assembly! Mike’s behaviour management was excellent and the children responded well to him.”
“Becca was fantastic, she made the theatre show fully inclusive with the audience. She made sure everyone was listening and engaged. She was very friendly and un-phased by our internet issues and temporary hall! Thank you Becca you’re brilliant!!”
“Lily was incredibly engaging, very knowledgeable and interacted with the children in exactly the right way – she was super. Lily – you were wonderful – honestly the feedback from children and staff was superb – thank you. The messaging was really good and so positive – thank you.”

Looking Ahead
We’re so grateful to have worked with so many schools to support them in celebrating Anti-Bullying Week 2024. As we reflect on the success of this month, we’re now turning our attention to Safer Internet Day 2025 in February.
Safer Internet Day is an opportunity to continue empowering young people with knowledge and tools to navigate the online world safely. We’ll be visiting schools throughout the UK with our interactive Internet Safety Workshops. If you’d like to bring these workshops to your school, get in touch.
