Bullying is usually defined as repeated, unwanted and unkind behaviour which is intended to hurt someone either emotionally or physically. Bullying can happen anywhere and can make people feel hurt, upset, unhappy and angry. It can happen face to face or via technology such as mobile phones, email or over the internet.
At St. Saviour’s we do not tolerate any form of bullying and throughout the year particularly promote anti- bullying messages in everything we do. We use the STOP messages with children that bullying is Several Times On Purpose and that if it happens to you or if you see it happen to anyone else you should Start Telling Other People.
It is important that everyone understands it is their responsibility to tell and that children know they should not stand by if they know someone is being bullied.
There are many adults in school that children can talk to if they feel they are being bullied. Speak to a class teacher or support staff in the first instance, but if unkind behaviour continues, Ms Couch and Mrs Golding's door is always open so we can help.
