Anti-Bullying

Bell Baxter High School is committed to the personal and social wellbeing of all children and young people in our school. We aim to provide community, social and learning environments free from any threat or fear, as a matter of right and as a prerequisite to effective learning and development.

In this context all staff who work within the school are unequivocally opposed to bullying. We fully recognise the damage which bullying can do to young people’s lives – both those who bully and those who are bullied – in the short and long term. We are therefore committed to reducing and preventing bullying and providing appropriate support when bullying does occur. Our policy sets clear expectations regarding how these goals will be achieved.
