What should we all do about bullying?

SORT IT



SEE IT

- Don’t be a bystander – if you see something you don’t like –find a member of staff

- Help the person you think might be being bullied – ask them if they are ok

- If you see something online you don’t like – save the message and then block the person – report to parent, teacher or website/app

- Name calling, physical assault, threats and discrimination is not acceptable



- Talk to a trusted adult – parent/teacher/form tutor

- “Snitch” – we won’t tolerate people feeling scared to talk –what if it was you that needed help?

- Use the school concerns report systems

- Our school ethos is around respecting each other and feeling

comfortable is saying “that is not ok”

SAY IT



- If you don’t tell an adult – we can’t stop it. Telling an adult will be

the first step in you stopping it

- Don’t try to stop this yourself by getting

involved/messaging/confronting the bully – it could make the

situation worse

- By wanting to stop it, you are standing up for what is right

- By standing up for what is right – you will make a difference

STOP IT



If bullying is reported to us we will…

1) Meet with those involved – take statements

2) Speak to parents – invite them in for a meeting

3) Issue appropriate sanctions

- Saturday detentions (Stage One)

- Isolation (Stage Two)

- Off-site education (Stage Three)

- Exclusion (Stage Four)

Where persistent bullying takes place over a significant period of time – students will no

longer be able to attend the school
