If you are worried about something, no matter how small, always tell an adult. In school, this could be your teacher, a teaching assistant, a member of our office staff or one of the safeguarding team. We will always help you! Each classroom has a worry box so you can write your worries down if you prefer that to saying them out loud.

Bullying 

Bullying is intentional behaviour that hurts someone else. It includes name-calling, hitting, pushing, spreading rumours, threatening or undermining someone.

It can happen anywhere – at school, at home or online. It's usually repeated over a long period of time and can hurt a child both physically and emotionally.

Bullying can take different forms. It could include:

• physical bullying: hitting, slapping or pushing someone
• verbal bullying: name calling, gossiping or threatening someone
• non-verbal abuse: hand signs or text messages
• emotional abuse: threatening, intimidating or humiliating someone
• exclusion: ignoring or isolating someone
• undermining, constant criticism or spreading rumours
• controlling or manipulative behaviour
• making silent, hoax or abusive calls.

The following types of bullying are also hate crimes:

• racial, sexual, transphobic or homophobic bullying
• bullying someone because they have a disability

Parkview Primary School has adopted a range of strategies to prevent and reduce bullying, to raise awareness of bullying and support victims and those displaying bullying behaviour. Some of these include: PSHE lessons, NSPCC Workshops, RTime Lessons and taking part in Anti-Bullying Week.
