Next week marks Anti-Bullying Week 2025, an important time to come together to raise awareness about bullying, promote kindness, and celebrate individuality.
We are taking part in Odd Socks Day on Monday 10 November! By wearing odd socks, staff and learners will join thousands across the UK in celebrating what makes each of us unique and encouraging conversations about inclusion and respect.
What is Odd Socks Day?
Odd Socks Day is part of the national Anti-Bullying Week campaign organised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. The idea is simple: wear mismatched socks to show that while we are all different, everyone deserves respect.
Participating in Odd Socks Day is a fun and visible way to promote kindness and challenge bullying in schools, colleges, workplaces, and communities.
