Bullying of any kind – verbal, physical, mental or via text or social networking sites – is not tolerated within Kildrum. As part of our Health and Wellbeing curriculum, each class, each year, works on anti-bullying and friendship topics. Children are encouraged to speak out about bullying.  Staff are extremely vigilant about bullying both in the playground, around the school and in the classes.   An adult presence is provided in playgrounds at break times in terms of the Schools Safety and Supervision of Pupils (Scotland) regulations 1990.  We use some of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (C.E.O.P.) materials relating to internet bullying, in order to have both parents/carers and children better informed about this issue.  Bullying or alleged bullying incidents are recorded as part of the school monitoring system.  If you are concerned that your child is being bullied at school, please do not hesitate to get in touch with your child’s teacher or a member of the senior leadership team.

 

“When I felt my child was being bullied it was dealt with swiftly and effectively.  I was extremely satisfied with how well it was dealt with and my son’s emotional wellbeing afterwards was not forgotten.”  Parent (May 2023)
