We believe that children have the right to be in a secure environment, to feel safe in school, protected from all types of bullying.
The importance of this issue is underlined by the School’s Anti-Bullying Policy (found on our school policies page), which is drawn up by governors, staff, parents and students and undergoes annual review.
The subject forms a part of the Wider Curriculum programme.
We consider bullying to be against our underlying Wilmslow Way ethos and PRIDE values, therefore completely unacceptable. Our policy addresses both the issues faced by the victim and strategies to be adopted with the bully. Students and parents are encouraged to make the school aware of instances of bullying as soon as possible, which senior staff can then deal with.
What to do if you are being bullied
What is bullying?
Bullying is defined as any words or actions that are meant to hurt you or your feelings and that you have difficulty dealing with.
If you are concerned about being bullied, you know someone who you think is being bullied or you are concerned about your behaviour towards others, there are lots of people to whom you can talk.
In school you can talk to:
- Form Tutor
- Student Manager
- Head of House
- Another teacher or member of staff
- Peer Mentor
- School Nurse
