At Christ the King Catholic Primary School, we do all that we can to ensure that children are free from bullying in all its forms. Children are taught about bullying during PSHE lessons throughout the year and during our Anti-Bullying week each November.
At Christ the King Catholic Primary School, we accept the following as a definition of bullying:
Bullying is when someone (or a group of people) picks on you, hurts you, calls you names, threatens or says nasty things about you, takes your things and friends away
and keeps on doing it, making you feel frightened and/or unhappy.
It can be:
- Physical
- hitting, kicking, spitting, tripping someone up, or stealing / damaging someone's belongings;
- Verbal - name-calling, insulting a person's family, threats of physical violence, spreading rumours or constantly putting a person down;
- Emotional / Psychological - excluding someone from a group, humiliation or creating a feeling of danger;
- Racist - insulting language / gestures based on person's actual or perceived ethnic origin or faith, name-calling, graffiti or racially motivated violence;
- Sexual - sexually insulting language / gestures, name-calling, graffiti and unwanted physical contact;
- Homophobic / Transphobic - insulting language / gestures, based on a person's actual or perceived sexuality, name-calling, graffiti or homophobic / transphobic violence;
- Electronic - bullying by text message, bullying on the internet (in chat rooms, on bulletin boards and through instant messaging services) or hate websites
Bullying is the abuse of power by one person or a group over another. All of the types of behaviour listed above are unacceptable and will not be tolerated at this school.
If you or your child are concerned, please speak with either the Class Teacher or Mrs Mainwaring or Mrs Yemm as soon as possible.
