Bullying

“Tackling Bullying in Renfrewshire” is the authority’s policy on preventing and dealing with bullying in our school. The policy stresses the importance of involving the whole school community – pupils, parents and all the staff in the school.

You can view the anti-bullying policy by asking the school office for a copy of the document or by accessing the policy online at www.renfrewshire.gov.uk.

Anti Bullying

Mary Russell has a written policy on tackling bullying. This can be viewed by following the link below.

Any concerns parents have should be reported to the Head Teacher or a senior member of staff in keeping with the monitoring procedures outlined in the policy. The following definition is from the Council’s policy on Tackling Bullying in Renfrewshire.

“Bullying is an unacceptable form of behaviour through which an individual or group of individuals feel threatened, abused or undermined by another individual. Bullying is behaviour which can be defined as a repeated attack of a physical, psychological, social or verbal nature by those who are able to exert influence over others”.

The school works to develop the self-esteem and positive self-image of our pupils and promotes citizenship through encouraging pupils’ awareness of, respect for and responsibility towards others, within the school and the wider community.
