How is bullying dealt with?
Although bullying is not common in our schools, unfortunately it does happen sometimes. If it does happen to you, then it is really important to tell an adult so we can help you. We do have an anti – bullying policy in our schools which we follow and our aim is for everyone to feel safe at school.
