  • Anti Bullying Week

    Mon 23 Nov 2020

    This year has been a challenging year for all but we have highlighted the importance of National Anti-Bullying week, as we do every year.

     

    This year we have delivered a presentation through tutor time which utilises the official message and literature of 'United against bullying' and our own 'Report for support' message.

     

    As part of this we have placed a link on the homepage to our website where students can report situations to us without physically having to go and see a member of staff in school. This system is designed to make it easier for our students to engage with us and seek the support that they need.

     

    Outside of this we continue with our strong commitment to anti-bullying and to fully supporting our students in this area.
