Anti-Bullying
|
The theme this year is 'Choose Respect' and it took place from Monday 11th to Friday 15th November. Children took part in a range of activities to celebrate the week. |
|
|
Bullying is defined as, ‘behaviour by an individual or group, repeated over time, that intentionally hurts another individual or group either physically or emotionally’.
|
We believe that bullying of any kind is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our school. We take all incidents of bullying seriously. No one deserves to be a victim of bullying. We believe that where bullying is challenged effectively pupils will feel safe and happy and we will demonstrate a school that cares. Everybody has the right to be treated with respect and pupils who are bullying others need to learn different ways of behaving.
At Sketchley Hill Primary School, we acknowledge that bullying can and does happen from time to time and that bullying can happen to adults in the workplace. When bullying does occur, everyone should feel able to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively in accordance with our school anti-bullying policy. |

The children will continue to learn about aspects of bullying and how to deal with any behaviour through the PSHCE Curriculum.
