BULLYING

Bullying may be defined as repeated aggression, either verbal, psychological or physical, conducted by an individual or groups against others.  It may manifest
itself in a variety of forms including physical aggression, damage to property,
 extortion, intimidation, isolation, name-calling or �Slagging�.

Fortunately, to date, bullying has not been a major problem in our school. 
However, it is school policy to raise the awareness of bullying as a form of unacceptable behaviour.  Children are constantly reminded of the Christian values of love and tolerance.  All alleged incidents of bullying are investigated.
 The effectiveness of school policy in this respect is frequently evaluated.
 We hope that the bully has nowhere to hide.

BULLYING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IN ST.PAUL'S

The school�s anti-bullying charter is discussed regularly in each class and explained to the children.

St. Paul�s Primary School  Anti-Bullying Charter.

Every pupil has the right to  enjoy his time in St.Paul�s Primary School, free from intimidation, both in school and on his journey to and from school.

Our school will not tolerate any unkind actions or remarks, even if these were not meant to hurt.

Pupils should support each other by reporting all instances of bullying.

Bullying will be regarded as a very serious matter; no child has a right to strike another, even in �Self-defence�.  We are a �Telling� school.  Bullying is too serious not to be reported.

REMEMBER:

SAY NO.

GET AWAY.

TELL SOMEONE.

The problem of bullying is also dealt with in THE STAY SAFE PROGRAMME, which is currently in use in the school.
