Bullying

Bullying is when a person or group deliberately intends to cause someone else to feel hurt, distressed, threatened or humiliated.

Bullying is not acceptable

  • We want everyone at the Academy to feel safe and secure
  • We believe no one should be bullied in any way
  • Verbal abuse of another pupil is bullying
  • A physical attack on a pupil is bullying
  • We must all make sure bullies never win

If you, or someone you know, is being bullied:

TAKE ACTION

  • Watching and doing nothing supports the bully
  • Tell a member of staff or a member of your family immediately

You cannot deal with a bully by yourself

  • Talk to a teacher, your parents or an adult you can trust
  • Do not give in to demands for money, sweets or anything else
  • Do not try to buy the bully off with sweets or other presents

TOGETHER, WE CAN AND WILL STOP BULLYING
