Anti-Bullying Hero on ITV News

13 year old Adam Forest, received the Diana Anti-Champion award for anti-bullying activities in his school. Adam was nominated by The New School at West Heath for volunteering as a peer mentor and working with students, parents and local community police officers to re-write and implement the school anti-bullying policy. Adam travelled to London to receive the award at our national award ceremony at Barclays in Canary Wharf.

ITV Meridian News met Adam and interviewed Principal Ms. Wells.

ITV’s Victoria Heath shares when she met Adam
It was a pleasure to interview Adam who seemed a bit phased by the camera at first but turned out to be a complete natural when he was interviewed! It’s clear that he has a real passion for helping his classmates and most definitely deserved to win the Diana Award. His friends were the first to say how Adam helped them to settle in to their new school and we were particularly impressed by the way he helped other pupils in class and taught one of his friends to play the drums. Adam was also really patient with us when we had to film him drawing graphs and playing Jenga! Thanks for letting us come to the school and well done again on the award.
