The runners-up were Lewis Innes of East Hoathly Primary School (primary, left pic) and Ellen Blakney also of Chailey School (Secondary, right pic). |
These posters were designed by children and young people in East Sussex to illustrate their feelings about bullying and to emphasise the county's on-going anti-bullying campaign. They are the winners in a design competition for pupils from primary and secondary schools run by the East Sussex Anti-Bullying Team.
The two winners and two runners-up were chosen from more than 200 entries. The four posters shown will now be used in schools across the county and the best 12 entries will be turned into a calendar for next year.
Anti-bullying Survey
Meanwhile, the Anti-Bullying Team continues to work regularly with schools and young people to address bullying behaviour and is currently running an anti-bullying survey of pupils at dozens of schools across the county. By the time the survey is completed, the Team hopes that as many as 12,000 pupils at 40 schools - including all the county's maintained secondary schools - will have had the chance to take part.
