We regard bullying as being either a continued physical or verbal threat to a child over a period of time.

Class teachers will record any incident of bullying and will inform the key stage/foundation co-ordinator. It is important that we are informed as soon as you are aware of a problem and for you to encourage your son/daughter to speak to a teacher or adult at the school.

Any incident of bullying will be dealt with straight away. The parents of both parties will be contacted where necessary.
 

Appropriate sanctions will be given to the bully and support to the child they have bullied. This may well involve outside agencies being brought into the school, for example, pupil support, educational psychologist, the police.
 

We also have year 6 pupils who have been trained to act as Buddies. Their job will be to help on the playground by resolving problems and looking after either younger or lonely children.
