Odd Socks Day

On Monday 16 November, we will be taking part in Odd Socks Day as part of our activities for Anti-Bullying Week. Students and staff are encouraged to come to school wearing the wildest combination of socks that they can find, along with their regular school uniform. It’s an opportunity to encourage people to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique!

The theme of Anti-Bullying Week 2026 is Break the Silence. During assemblies led by our Head Students, we will encourage everyone to start conversations about bullying, speak up, listen and take action together. The theme was developed in collaboration with the anti-bullying sector and shaped directly by the voices of more than 200 children and young people, many of whom spoke about the silence that can surround bullying and the barriers young people face in asking for help.

At Sheldon School, we encourage all students and staff to treat each other with respect and kindness. If students feel concerned about bullying they have seen or experienced, they should speak with someone from their their Pastoral Team.
