SECONDARY school pupils gathered together to learn about how they can help prevent bullying in their school.

The group of youngsters, from Woodlands School, in Woodlands Approach, Basildon, were taking part in anti-bullying training.

They had previously been chosen as anti-bullying ambassadors for their school.

As ambassadors their role sees them help other pupils who are being bullied and help prevent it happening in the first place.

A school spokesman said: “Woodlands School Anti-Bullying Ambassadors are taking part in the next lot of training with The Diana Award to develop their skills further in order to help and support other pupils within the school.”
