Anti-Bullying
At Rawmarsh, bullying is unacceptable and is not tolerated by students, staff, or the wider community. Never tolerate anyone who seeks to hurt you – either physically or emotionally.
Remember the problem is with them, not you!
If you feel you are being bullied, REACH OUT!
- Don’t retaliate
- Tell a member of staff
- Surround yourself with friends
- Be proud of who you are
- Trust us to help you
If you are being bullied online:
- Don’t reply, save the evidence, report and block, tell a member of staff
If you are being bullied we will support you by:
- Self-esteem support through your Non-Teaching Heads of Year
- Repairing relationships with people who are worrying you
- Mindfulness support through the Student Support Team
- Regular check-ins by the support team
If you demonstrate any behaviour that we consider bullying:
- We will involve your parents/carers
- We will look to modify your behaviour in a supportive environment
- We may put in place serious consequences including suspension from school
Remember to speak up against bullying:
- Standing by silently, or laughing along, helps encourage bullying
- Reach out and connect with students who look like they are left out
- Speak up and report to a member of staff if you observe a fellow student being bullied or harmed
If you are being bullied, or if you witness it, report it to any member of staff. If you feel it is not getting dealt with then tell someone else.
