Anti Bullying
Bullying Hurts! No one deserves to be a victim of bullying. Everyone has a right to be treated with respect. Children, young people and adults who are bullying need to learn different ways of behaving. Our Positive Behaviour Policy outlines our expectations of all children’s behaviour, consequences for not meeting these expectations as well as our stages of consequence. It is the responsibility of all adults working at Sherdley to model desired behaviour and recognise pupils’ successes. We work in partnership with our parents and carers in helping their children to behave well and to make good choices. We know that our children are individuals with unique experiences and lives which vary from day to day. We understand how these positive and negative experiences may present themselves through behaviour. (Positive Behaviour Policy) Everyone within our Sherdley Family has a responsibility to respond promptly and effectively to issues of bullying.
As a school, we realise the impact and increase in online bullying. We deliver a rigorous PSHE and computing curriculum to our children and take part in Internet Safety Day annually. Staff are trained in the most up to date online bullying training, this also includes radicalisation through the Prevent strategy. More information can be found about this in our Anti-Bullying Policies and Computing Policies.
Each year, we take part in the annual ‘Wear Odd Socks’ for Anti Bullying Week.
