Anti-Bullying

shutterstock_116071720We believe that all young people have the right to come here without fear of being bullied.

We aim to create a calm, secure and caring atmosphere in which all students can benefit from their education. We do not believe bullying to be widespread at Litcham School, but it does happen. We always consider all complaints connected with bullying seriously, no matter what the circumstances, and always try to deal promptly, sensitively and efficiently with incidents when they do occur.


Litcham School has a ZERO tolerance approach to bullying.

If you are being bullied or harassed:

  • remember it is not your fault
  • try to stay calm and look as confident as you can be firm and clear – look them in the eye and, if possible, tell them to stop and tell them how you feel.

After you have been bullied or harassed:

  • all bullying and harassment is wrong and you do not have to stay silent about it
  • tell an adult or somebody you trust about what has happened straight away. Adults in school have a responsibility to give you help and support around bullying
  • if you are scared to tell a teacher or adult on your own, ask a friend to go with you
  • keep on speaking until someone listens and does something to stop the bullying.
  • you can report bullying through the anonymous chat function on the school website.

When you are talking to an adult about bullying be clear about:

  • what has happened to you
  • how often it has happened
  • who was involved
  • who saw what was happening
  • where it happened
  • what you have done about it already.

If you experience bullying or harassment by mobile phone, text messages or e‐mail:

  • don’t retaliate or reply
  • save the evidence ‐ do not delete anything
  • make sure you tell an adult who you trust
  • contact your service provider or look at their website to see where to report incidents
  • be careful who you give your mobile phone number or e‐mail address to
  • make a note of exactly when a threatening message was sent.
