A word about physical behaviour...
We have a zero tolerance of physical behaviour in school. All incidents will be dealt with by the headteacher or assistant headteacher and parents informed.
We also teach our children the anti-bullying message STOP:
Several
Times
On
Purpose
This ensures our children can spot bullying in all its forms so that they are supported properly.
Our children are taught about the following at an age appropriate level:
- verbal bullying
- physical bullying
- cyber bullying
- homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying
Older children learn about healthy relationships and strategies to avoid CSE (Child Sexual Exploitation). We use the Real Love Rocks materials provided by Barnardos.
