👏 BulliesOut are proud to be taking part in this years anti-bullying week, with a brand new theme

The Anti-Bullying Alliance has officially launched the theme for 2026: 💬 Break the Silence

Taking place from 16–20 November, this year’s campaign will encourage children, young people and adults to start conversations about bullying behaviour, speak up, listen and take action together.

The theme was developed with the anti-bullying sector and shaped by the voices of more than 200 young people.

With bullying behaviour still affecting thousands of children and young people, this year’s message has never felt more important.

We wholeheartedly agree with Dr Chatterjee - the outdoors, nature, supportive nutrition, hydration and better sleep routines are what make the exams period a less stressful experience for most students (and parents/guardians). And we’re a huge fan of flashcards and using handwritten notes for revision purposes.

In fact, a 2024 study published in Frontiers in Psychology found that handwriting with a pen or pencil boosted brain connectivity across regions associated with memory formation, compared with typing the same words. As Dr Chatterjee suggests a walk with flashcards can help to improve retention and recall - the best part is handwritten notes (getting away from the keyboard is, it turns out, genuinely beneficial – and the science backs it up) - our expert teachers have been working with this simple technique for over 25 years, and our learners have not only improved their revision process but their handwriting, a skill that we are very pleased to support in lifelong learning.

Wishing your son, and everyone taking their GCSE and A-level exams all the very best.

Try your best, and remember that the results do not define you - they certainly help open doors - however, if you don’t have the results you hoped for, it’s okay. There are further opportunities available to you - just do your best in this season.

We’re on hand for any educational support queries, do reach out via our website. We’d recommend checking out Dr Chatterjee’s work and his books.
