ANTI-BULLYING CHARTER

As a school we have been working hard on our Anti-Bullying Charter - please see below.

Bullying in ANY form is unacceptable – it has to stop.

Bullying is:

• Deliberately hurtful or upsetting behaviour
• Usually repeated, often over a period of time but is sometimes an isolated incident
• Behaviour that makes it difficult for those being bullied to defend themselves
•  

Bullying can take many forms:

• PHYSICAL - hitting, kicking, pushing, taking belongings
• VERBAL - name calling, sarcasm, insulting remarks, racist remarks, teasing, spreading rumours
• EMOTIONAL - excluding, ridiculing, humiliating
•  

The effects of bullying:

As well as the children directly involved, bullying can affect:

• parents
• other children and their parents
• the class teacher and other staff in school

It is important that you or your parents contact your class teacher, Mrs Phelps or Mrs Gittens quickly if a concern arises.
