A WORCESTER primary school has been named UK Kind School of the Year and featured on national television.
St Barnabas Primary School appeared on ITV’s This Morning just before midday today in a segment celebrating its recent award from the charity 52 Lives.
Headteacher Mrs Hanson said: "I couldn't be more proud of every child in this school, our community and the way that they work together as a team to try and make our children have the best lives they can have."
The award recognises schools that put kindness at the heart of everything they do.
In the televised segment, school councillor Rosie said: "Kindness is important to me as it's something everyone has, we can connect because of that, it's like a string, every time you do something kind and good the string gets longer."
She explained how she would respond if she witnessed unkind behaviour.
Rosie said: "I would step in and not be a bystander, if they didn't stop, I would get a teacher and help to make that child who is getting bullied feel safer."
During the broadcast the reporter asked who in the classroom would speak to a teacher if they saw someone being unkind, prompting every pupil in Class 3C to raise their hand.
St Barnabas was awarded the title of UK Kind School of the Year in June and has enjoyed a string of successes in recent months.
The school also won Primary School of the Year at the Worcestershire Education Awards and was named runner-up in the TES Awards' national Primary School of the Year category.
This Morning is hosted by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary on Fridays.
Dermot O'Leary joked that "it's Britain's quietest classroom."
