Scottish Borders Council updated the authority anti-bullying policy in 2023 and this is now known as the SBC: Includes – Respectful Relationships and Anti-Bullying Policy. All SBC learning establishments have adopted this policy and in Peebles High School, it sits within our own positive behaviour and anti-bullying policies. Learning establishments were also tasked to complete a Respectful Relationships and Anti-Bullying Establishment Statement to outline procedures and actions to be undertaken to embed the SBC policy.
Prior to the SBC policy roll out, a sub-group from the PHS Parent Council worked with young people and staff to update the PHS Respect policy (2018) and drafted the PHS Anti-Bullying Policy (2023). This has now replaced the previous policy and we are pleased to share this with you. Thank you for the efforts of all involved in the production of a policy which meets the needs of our school community.
Ensuring everyone at Peebles High School feels welcome, safe and happy is vitally important to us. We know that everyone is more likely to enjoy their work and succeed if they are in a community that supports and nurtures them. To this end, please find links to policies and other relevant information on the work we do to support our young people below.
