What is Bullying?

Bullying is when someone hurts you on purpose several times. It can be emotional or physical:

  • Physical Bullying: Hitting, kicking, pushing.
  • Emotional Bullying: Name-calling, spreading rumors.
  • Online Bullying: Abusive or threatening messages online.

Reporting Bullying

We are a telling school: if you witness or experience bullying, tell a trusted adult immediately. Bullying is a serious issue, and by reporting it, we work together to stop it.

Types of Bullying

We are a tolerant school, and we do not tolerate bullying based on gender, race, religion, age, disability, or sexuality. Incidents related to prejudice will be recorded and addressed.

Sexual harassment is unwanted sexual conduct, both online and offline. It includes comments, taunting, and inappropriate physical behaviour. We address these issues immediately and support the victim.

Pupils must uphold school values of respect, resilience, and integrity, even online. If you experience or witness online bullying, tell a trusted adult or teacher. Parents should inform the school for support.
