Positive Relationships and Anti-Bullying Policy 2020<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, one of the targets on our School Improvement Plan is to develop a Positive Relationships and Anti-Bullying Policy.\u00a0 Several members of staff have met from schools in Castle Douglas High School Cluster to create a draft copy of what this might look like.\u00a0 I now wish to share this with staff, parents and pupils across the partnership schools and to seek your feedback.<\/p>\n

In particular, I would like to know what you think we should include to ensure effective partnerships between home and school.\u00a0 I would also like to know if you would like further information on what is meant by ‘restorative approaches’.<\/p>\n

Please see the link below and email the school office with your feedback at gw08officegelston@ea.dumgal.sch.uk .<\/p>\n
