The ‘Bullying Incident Report Form’ is to report any occurrences of bullying, either in school, out of school, or online.

Anti-Bullying

Bullying is behaviour by an individual or group, repeated over time, that intentionally hurts another individual or group either physically or emotionally.

Bullying can take many forms (for instance, cyber-bullying via text messages, social media or gaming, which can include the use of images and video) and is often motivated by prejudice against particular groups. For example, on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, special educational needs or disabilities, or because a child is adopted, in care or has caring responsibilities. It might be motivated by actual differences between children, or perceived differences.

Reporting Bullying

In the event that you think an incident of bullying has occurred, please complete the 'Report Bullying' form above on this page. A parent/carer, a member of school staff or a friend can support to complete this form on behalf of the victim. Once the form has been completed, this will notify your Head of Year and Pastoral Support Manager. The incident will be investigated swiftly, and you will be notified of the outcome of the investigation.
