Bullying is when a person or group deliberately intends to cause someone else to feel hurt, distressed, threatened or humiliated.

Bullying is not acceptable

• We want everyone at the Academy to feel safe and secure.
• We believe no one should be bullied in any way.
• Verbal abuse of another pupil is bullying.
• A physical attack on a pupil is bullying.
• We must all make sure bullies never win.

If you, or someone you know, is being bullied:

TAKE ACTION

• Watching and doing nothing supports the bully.
• Tell a member of staff or a member of your family immediately.

You cannot deal with a bully by yourself

• Talk to a teacher, your parents or an adult you can trust .
• Do not give in to demands for money, sweets or anything else.
• Do not try to buy the bully off with sweets or other presents.

TOGETHER, WE CAN AND WILL STOP BULLYING
