Strengthen Our Anti-Bullying Approach

Following parent feedback, we are implementing the following steps:

• Clear Communication – We will share our bullying response process with parents via newsletters and our website.
• Education – Families will receive information on what we teach pupils about bullying and how to report concerns.
• Workshops – Additional anti-bullying workshops will be introduced in the Spring and Summer Term.
• Pupil Leadership – We will launch an Anti-Bullying Ambassador role to empower pupils in promoting kindness and inclusion.
• Pupil Initiative – Pupils will create STOP posters to display around the school, reinforcing anti-bullying messages.

Together, we will ensure a safe and supportive environment for all pupils. Thank you for your support.

Some schools have banned smart phones from being brought into school. Do you agree?

51% Y / 49% N

Parents that disagreed with this statement had the following comments to share

• Many parents feel that children need access to phones while commuting to and from school for safety reasons. This allows parents to ensure their children have arrived safely or can contact someone in case of emergencies.
• A few parents disagreed with a complete ban, highlighting the need for communication in emergencies.
• Some parents are fine with a school ban, provided it doesn't interfere with their child’s ability to carry a phone for the commute

Parents are most concerned about the following risks of their children having a smart phone

• Accessing harmful content
• Online bullying and abuse by other children and young people
• Becoming isolated from the family

Parents felt that the potential benefits from their child having a smart phone are

• Using apps or the internet to learn and find out information
• The children can get in contact with their parents whenever they want to
• The parents can see their location anytime they want

• To continue to reiterate the importance of online safety

• To continue to allow children to bring their phones into school if they are walking to and from school and must be brought into the school office
