Our Anti-bullying policy

Nurture Inspire Accomplish

Our Policy 

Construction of our policy

After attending our Diana Trust Anti-bullying training, the Student Leadership team met with Mr Hailwood (Chair of Governors) and Mrs Lord (Headteacher) and decided together what we wanted on our policy. We looked at a range of policies on the internet and decided on a structure that we liked. We liked the message of 'STOP' in this policy as it clearly shows that bullying is not allowed to continue, if it happens in our school. We have ensured that all of the things that we have learned from our training in in our policy. We think it is very clear. Please look at our notice board for forther information or ask one of our anti-bullying ambassadors for more information.

In our school a bully is someone who hurts someone more than once, deliberately using behaviour which is meant to hurt, frighten or upset another person.  

 

Bullying can be…..

Physical: Punching, kicking, spitting, pushing, theft.

Verbal: Being teased, name calling, being rude.

Racist: Calling you racist names, graffiti.

Cyber: Saying unkind things by text, email, socail media.

Remember some things you say to someone may be said to try and be funny but it may be hurtful to that person.
