PUPILS formed a united front in the struggle against bullying.

Youngsters from Bowburn Junior School, pictured, created a human sculpture spelling Bowburn United, to show they do not accept or tolerate bullying.

The children also stood up at their desks for one minute.

Every pupil and teacher took part in the demonstrations, which were part of the nation-wide Big Stand event, organised by Beatbullying, an anti-bullying charity.
