Anti-Bullying
We have a number of trained PALs and Anti-bullying Ambassadors in the school. These pupils have received specific training around identifying bullying, taking disclosures of bullying and safeguarding their peers. Any pupil can talk to a PAL or Anti-bullying Ambassador about worries they have about themselves, or their peers, at any time.
PALS lead registration sessions on a weekly basis with Year 7 and 8 forms. Our Wellbeing Ambassadors also meet weekly and act as mentors for targeted Year 7 and 8 pupils.
Anti-Bullying Ambassadors across all phases are available to support pupils during break and lunch should they need it.
All pupils can also report concerns via the report button on the school website and also through the anti-bullying station feedback boxes placed in various locations in both buildings.
King Henry VIII 3-19 School defines bullying as: ‘Bullying can happen between individual people or groups of people. It is when someone makes repeated and on purpose attempts to hurt or embarrass someone else. It can involve an unfair balance of power or personalities.’
Our school has robust procedures to raise awareness of, challenge, and prevent bullying. There are a variety of ways pupils can report bullying. Staff, both teaching and non-teaching have received training and know that a pupil may approach any member of staff to report bullying. Pupils can also report bullying to:
- trained peer supporters - our PALS or Wellbeing Ambassadors;
- classroom teachers, Form Tutors, WBLSOs and WBLs. WBLSOs are available in The Hub at all times;
- the anti-bullying station feedback boxes;
- our school mobile number 07961870124;
- the report button on the front page of our website
Our Anti-Bullying Lead is: Mrs E Davies (Assistant Headteacher)
