Our Speak Up! partner school Outwood Academy Freeston have been nominated and shortlisted for The School of Kindness Award in the 'group or class' category in the 2025 Kindness Awards.
The group have been commended for their contributions to Anti-Bullying Campaigns, with their original song 'Just Banter, Right?'.
The Awards are organised by the School of Kindness, a project of the 52 Lives kindness charity. The School of Kindness delivers free workshops for more than 90,000 children every year with the ethos that kindness helps to build strong, supportive school communities and is essential for everybody’s health and wellbeing.
Its been such an amazing journey to be apart of the Speak Up project and this really tops it off with a kindness award. I'm so proud of the students and everything they've achieved throughout this timeAdam Appleby Head of Performing Arts, Outwood Academy Freeston
