Intent

To promote respect, kindness and a zero-tolerance approach to bullying.

Implementation

We follow the national Anti-Bullying Week theme and take part in Odd Socks Day, celebrating individuality and valuing difference.

Children learn:

• What bullying is and isn’t
• How to report concerns
• How to be an upstander
• The impact of words and actions
• Inclusion and respect

Impact

Our proactive approach results in a community where children feel safe, valued and included.

Impact includes:

• Precise understanding of bullying, including repetition, power imbalance and intention.
• Confident reporting, because children trust adults to act fairly.
• Kind, respectful relationships, strengthened by anti-bullying pledges and values-led teaching.
• Celebration of difference, particularly through Odd Socks Day.
• Reduction in repeat incidents, as pupils recognise harmful behaviours early.
• Improved empathy and social awareness, especially in conflict resolution.

Behaviour and relationships are a strength, supported by PSHE.
