The school operates a proactive approach to creating a culture of high expectations of behaviour for all children and adults alike. It applies to all adults and children within school and all aspects of school life.
Definition of bullying behaviour
The school adopts the Anti-Bullying Alliance definition of bullying which is:
The repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. It can happen face-to-face or online.
For our children we use the definition from our Jigsaw PHSE programme.
Bullying is behaviour that is repeated and intended to hurt or frighten someone either physically or emotionally.
A person that is displaying bullying behaviour is someone who hurts or frightens someone over a period of time.
Through our PSHE Jigsaw programme and assemblies, we seek to educate our children in the difference between bullying and friendship fallouts/unacceptable behaviour. The school’s Anti-bullying charter is used to effectively communicate this with our community.

Anti-Bullying messages are taught primarily through our PSHE scheme. We use the Jigsaw scheme to help structure our curriculum. Opportunities to develop children’s understanding of key themes such as respect, discrimination and equality are also taught through the whole curriculum.
