Bullying is the repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person of group, where the relationship involves a balance of power. Bullying can be physical, verbal or psychological. It can happen face-to-face or through cyberspace.
At Chad Vale Primary School bullying is rare. When it happens, bullying is treated seriously, and we try to reach a rapid resolution. Our children are very proud of their school and we ensure that they feel they have a range of trusted adults who they can talk to if they are feeling worried, sad or anxious. This helps to identify issues early and enables quick solutions.
​
Since December 2022 we have engaged with the Anti-Bullying Alliance 'United Against Bullying' programme. This has helped us to audit our current provision and policy and has improved our responses to any bullying that might occur.
​
A pupil survey was completed in January, which demonstrated low levels of bullying across the school in comparison to national figures. We have also completed a detailed audit of our policies and procedures which has assisted in the creation of an action plan below.
​
We will work through the actions on the plan during the Spring and Summer terms in 2023. For ongoing updates, please visit our weekly newsletters page.
