Anti-Bullying

Abersychan School is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all students. Bullying of any kind breaks down the school ethos and prevents equality of opportunity. Bullying affects everyone, not just the bullies and the victims. It also affects those other children who are present and there is no doubt that children can be drawn in by group / peer pressure. Bullying is not an inevitable part of school life or a necessary part of growing up and it rarely sorts its self out. It is clear that certain jokes, insults, intimidating / threatening behaviour, written abuse and violence are to be found in our society.

The school believes that its students that have the right to learn in a supportive, caring and safe environment without the fear of being bullied. Only when issues of bullying are addressed, will a child best be able to benefit from the opportunities available at the school. The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines to support this ethos. Any bullying complaints will be dealt with firmly, fairly and promptly.
