Anti-Bullying, Safety and Behaviour At Fagley

Primary School

Bullying a definition
Repeated

Often aimed at certain groups, e.g. because of race,
religion, gender or sexual orientation

It takes many forms and can include:

Physical assault
Teasing
Making threats

Cyber bullying (bullying via mobile phone or online, e.g.
email, social networks and instant messenger)

Fagley Primary School has a zero tolerance approach to

bullying and we will take seriously children who are found or
proven to be bullying others.
School has a positive behaviour policy to promote positive
behaviours and this is linked to their learning in the
classroom and on the playground.
The school expects children to behave well and treat each
other with respect.
Our children have a variety of ways in which they can report
bullying or any unkind behaviours that could lead to bullying.

What are they?

Corridor)

Our Keyworkers!

Our Assemblies!

Our children participate in assemblies that teach them

about the effects of bullying and they are encouraged to
understand that unkind actions have a negative effect on
others. This is to foster Empathy in our children.

Our Worry and Tell Boxes!

Every child in our school has the resources to tell.

Once an incident of unkindness or bullying is reported it will
be dealt with immediately and all children concerned are
spoken to and parents involved if bullying is proven.
If bullying is proven a form will be completed and sent to
Education Bradford and the bullying incident is logged.
Children are taught the difference between unkind
behaviours and bullying in lessons, through displays and
information in school.

Our Bullying Information Displays!

Safeguarding Assemblies are held throughout the year to

discuss safety issues and the school ensures that the voice
of the child is listened to.
The school also has a weekly safety question for the
children to answer to help them think about their safety in
and out of school. This also includes Internet Safety which
can also lead to Cyber-Bullying.

This year the children will be helping to raise funds for

BULLYING UK, as they are aware that bullying does happen
and the victims need support.
The motto for this year on bullying is The Power of Good.

Bullying UK!

The School Council will be working with the whole school on

ideas how to raise money for this good cause.
Our children are also taught that the people who commit
acts of bullying also need help to change their ways as they
may not be happy and safe themselves.

Fagley Primary School is determined to keep our school a

bully free zone and keep our children safe and happy.

Our Worry Wall!

We are aware as a school that some children do fall out and

upset each other and can be unkind and say means things,
but we also deal with those behaviours as swiftly as we
would bullying. All unkind behaviour is recorded in our Purple
Log and actions are put in place to prevent the behaviour
recurring again.

Our Playground! (Painting and Drawing)

The school have a variety of activities and play equipment

on the playground to help keep the children engaged and
safe. Staff supervises each area and support the children in
play.

Our Lounge!

To help support good relationships in school and reduce any

falling out, the school provides many activities and
resources at playtimes and lunchtimes.
The Lounge is open to children at Playtimes and Lunchtimes.
The Lounge also supports children under adult supervision to
get on with each without falling out if they have had a fall
out with each other and need guidance on how to solve their
differences, this happens at times and is NOT bullying.
