The procedure for you to follow is to talk to your child's class teacher in the first instance to make them aware of the situation. This will then be passed on using the chain – Class Teacher – Key Stage Leader – Deputy Headteacher - Headteacher. 

You can also have a look at our child-friendly Anti-Bullying Policy that was developed and agreed by our School Council Members.

We have been working hard as a school to promote Anti-Bullying to both parents and children. School Council members from across the school lead anti-bullying work and raise suggestions on how we can tackle this in school.

Our School Council children developed the ‘SAY NOW’ initiative. We ran a whole school competition to design a ‘SAY NOW’ poster to explain what our school beliefs were about bullying. The winning designs be seen all over school.

Anti-Bullying Charter

At the start of the year, our School Council members created a whole school Anti-Bullying Charter. They thought about what was important for children to remember and do if they are worried about bullying. The children also had to create a list of things that they expected staff members to do regarding bullying. The charter was then agreed with all staff members and pupils during PHSE lessons. Children agreed to the charter by signing their name to show they will remember and follow it around school. See below for our Anti-Bullying Charter.

Anti-Bullying Quality Mark

We have also worked hard to gain the Anti-Bullying Bronze Quality Mark. Miss Gaymer is the lead in school to help us achieve this. This is being developed through the School Council and School Buddy systems along with our Anti-Bullying Steering Group. The steering group consists of:

• SLT Lead: Miss K. Gaymer
• Lead for Anti-Bullying Quality Mark: Miss K. Gaymer
• Lead Governor: Mrs S. Polito
• Parent Representative: Vacancy
• Pupil Representatives: School Council members from Upper KS2

During the year, we participate in whole school Anti-Bullying weeks, as well as other anti-bullying events and lessons as part of our PHSE scheme.
