Report Bullying

Guide to bullying

Nobody has the right to hurt other people by hitting them, kicking them, calling them names, sending them threatening text messages, spreading rumours about them, or by doing anything else which is intended to be upsetting. If this is happening to you, tell yourself that it is not your fault and that it is the people who are bullying who need to change, not you.

Our Ethos in practice

We embody the ethos of Christ in our actions: we show each other love and respect and protect each other from harm.

Respect
We respect every person’s innate human dignity as we are all created in the image and likeness of God and as such, we are one in Christ.

Understanding
We understand that we achieve our best when we work together. We understand each other’s rights to human liberty and democracy.

Affection
We show one another affection by treating each other in the way we would like to be treated.

Humour
We work on managing our emotions and we are considerate about how we make others feel.

Report a concern - The Sharp System

The Sharp System (Student Help Advice Reporting System) is available for students and parents to report any wellbeing or safeguarding concerns — for themselves, for a peer, or for a group of students.

This simple, no-fuss online tool allows users to make a report or ask for help at any time of day. When a report is submitted, the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and Key Pastoral Leaders are immediately notified by email, allowing them to respond quickly and appropriately.

The Sharp System can be accessed via the link above or by downloading the free app on both Android and Apple App Stores.

 

 

What can you do to help others?

If you see someone else being bullied and do nothing, the bullies may think that you approve of what they are doing.

  • Be a friend to someone who is being bullied to help them feel less alone.
  • Ensure they know someone cares and will get them help.
  • Pass it on to an adult such as the Head of Year or any teacher.
  • Join the school council and represent your views.
  • Complete a report on The Sharp System
