We take bullying seriously at St Margarets.

It is important to let us know if you have a bullying concern so we can act quickly. If you have a bullying concern you can book a meeting with Ms Jerome or Mr Shuttleworth our Anti-Bullying Advocates,

We have a very clear process to manage bullying in school.

Step by step guide to our anti-bullying process:

1. Bullying concerned raised.
2. Meeting booked with parent/carer to completed, the facts: who, where, when, how many times?
3. Actions set and agreed with the parent/carer and pupil. These include (tailored to the pupil/family): informing the home setting of the wrong doer, restorative work to take place, home communication, check-ins with a key member of staff, restorative work with children and between families if needed.
4. Once the actions have been agreed by the family of the ‘victim’ a follow-up meeting is booked to review the progress within two weeks of the original meeting. Actions maybe carried over and/or new ones put in place. Continued communication with the home setting is key.
5. This process of reviewing the actions/impact is continued until the victim and family are happy that the concern has been resolved.
6.  

We feel it is important to support the ‘wrong doer’ just as much as the ‘victim’. Measures will be put in place to support the wrong doer to make the right choices and repair the harm in a restorative setting.
