Bullying

We want all the children to feel safe and happy at school. Positive behaviour, respect for others and resolving disagreements are all taught throughout school. We also try to make sure that the children understand the difference between bullying and “falling out”. 

It is generally agreed that a single incident of verbal or physical aggression is not necessarily considered to be bullying - there needs to be evidence of persistent or deliberate victimisation over a period of time.  However, children are encouraged to report all such incidents and repeated incidents will be taken into account. It is never acceptable for children to deliberately hurt others.

Please be assured that we take all reports of bullying seriously; if you feel your child is being bullied, please let us know immediately. Reassure your child that telling someone is the right thing to do and we will all work together to make the bullying stop.
