Anti-Bullying

At Lenthall Infant and Nursery School, we are dedicated to creating a warm, caring, and safe environment where all children can learn and play with confidence. As an anti-bullying school, we firmly believe that bullying in any form is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We take all reports of bullying seriously because, ultimately, bullying hurts. Everyone has the right to be treated with respect.

We define bullying as a 'persistent and deliberate act by individuals or groups who use their power to upset, scare, or intimidate others.' Our children are taught to remember STOP—Several Times On Purpose—as a working definition. We promote a 'talking school' culture, encouraging everyone to report any bullying to a trusted adult, an ambassador, or by placing their name on the worry tree.

While we recognise that bullying can occur, we ask that anyone aware of or concerned about bullying informs us immediately so we can tackle the issue promptly and effectively.
