Anti-Bullying
At Caldicot School, the act of bullying is seen as behaviour that is
• repeated;
• intended to hurt someone either physically or emotionally; and
• often aimed at certain groups, for example because of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation
It takes many forms and can include
• physical bullying, such as an assault;
• verbal bullying, such as teasing, making threats and/or name calling;
• cyber-bullying - bullying via mobile phone or online (for example via email, and often using forms of social media networks).
Our school has robust procedures to raise awareness of, challenge, and prevent bullying. There are a variety of ways pupils can report bullying. Staff, both teaching and non-teaching have received training and know that a pupil may approach any member of staff to report bullying. Pupils can also report bullying to:
- classroom teachers, Form Tutors, House team, Leadership team, Safeguarding team and GLSOs. Staff are available in Pupil Support Centre at all times;
Our Anti-Bullying Lead is: Mrs R Downs (Deputy Headteacher)
