Odd Socks Day
Monday 16th November sees the start of Anti-Bullying Week. The theme for Anti-Bullying Week 2026 is: Break the Silence. 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.
Anti-Bullying Week will involve an Odd Socks Day on Monday 16th November. This is a great way to celebrate what makes us all unique in Anti-Bullying Week.
What is Odd Socks Day?
Odd Socks Day is designed to be fun! It’s an opportunity to encourage people to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique. There is no pressure to wear the latest fashion or to buy expensive costumes. All you have to do to take part is wear odd socks - it couldn’t be simpler!
As a result, we invite all children to wear odd socks – the more colourful the better! We also wouldn’t want parents and carers to miss out so, if you are dropping off or picking up from school, please feel free to wear your odd socks too.
In addition to Odd Socks Day, the children will be covering anti-bullying topics within their classrooms, and during assemblies, at an age/stage appropriate level.
