Anti-Bullying
Our Definition of Bullying
Bullying involves dominance of one person by another, or a group of others, is pre-meditated and usually forms a pattern of behaviour.
Bullying is therefore:
- Deliberately hurtful
- Repeated, often over a period of time
- Difficult for victims to defend themselves against.
It can take many forms but the main types are:
- Physical – hitting, kicking, taking another’s belongings
- Verbal – name calling, insulting, making offensive remarks
- Indirect – spreading nasty stories about someone, exclusion from social groups, being made the subject of malicious rumours, sending malicious e-mails or text messages on mobile phones/social networking sites.
Pupils who have been bullied should report this to:
- Their identified adult in school
- Any member of staff (Teachers, Teaching Assistants or Midday Supervisors)
- Their pupil buddy
- Their class member of the school council
- Their parents
- A school friend
Pupils who see others being bullied should report this to:
- Any of the above

Anti-bullying Week
This year Anti-Bullying Week ran from Monday 14th November - Friday 18th November. The whole school took part in a workshop which was ran by Altru Creative Entertainment. Alice told us that this years theme was 'Power for Good', and that we could all be superheroes, so we struck a pose! We also discussed the various types of bullying (such as cyber, verbal and physical) and how we could take the power away from the bully and give it to the victim.
Altru Creative Entertainment also returned on Thursday and performed a play for us about bullying, and how to correctly deal with it, as well as using our own power for good.
