Anti-Bullying Education at Hillington Primary
Now that all pupils have returned to school and are settling into daily learning routines we wanted to update you on one of our key curricular focuses for all classes at Hillington Primary this term. Every year, at the beginning of term, each class explores the theme of Anti- Bullying. This involves class lessons, discussions and activities about what bullying is, anti bullying terminology, what bullying behaviour can look like, how bullying behaviour impacts on others, how to prevent bullying behaviour and what to do if someone is displaying bullying behaviours. As part of this theme each class also works collaboratively to create a Class Charter. This helps to clearly establish the responsible actions and expectations of all pupils to ensure every child has their rights upheld in particular a child’s right to feel safe.
Our Anti- Bullying (RESPECT) Policy
At Hillington Primary School our values are achieving, nurturing, healthy and kind. We understand that bullying is never acceptable and that children and young people have the right to learn in a safe, secure environment. Our Anti-Bullying Policy provide guidance to pupils, staff, parents and carers of Hillington Primary School in relation to preventing, responding to and reducing bullying behaviour. One of our main functions in school is to equip our pupils for life beyond the classroom. We strive to take pro-active measures designed to increase the self-worth and self-esteem of all our children, enhance their interpersonal skills and help them to cope with life in the wider world to benefit society.
The aims of Hillington Primary’s Anti-Bullying Policy are to ensure:
-
the prevention of bullying through a range of policies, strategies and approaches
-
support is given to children, young people and their parents and carers who are affected by bullying
-
an atmosphere of tolerance, mutual respect, co-operation and consideration is created enabling students to feel safe from fear and threat
-
that everyone is responsible for preventing all forms of bullying
-
support is provided for pupils who are accused of bullying, who may be experiencing problems of their own
