At Thrybergh, bullying is unacceptable and is not tolerated by students, staff, or the wider community. Never tolerate anyone who seeks to hurt you – either physically or emotionally.

Remember the problem is with them, not you!

If you feel you are being bullied, REACH OUT!

• Don’t retaliate
• Tell a member of staff
• Surround yourself with friends
• Be proud of who you are
• Trust us to help you

If you are being bullied online:

• Don’t reply, save the evidence, report and block, tell a member of staff.

If you are being bullied we will support you by: 

• Self-esteem support through your Non-Teaching Heads of Year
• Repairing relationships with people who are worrying you
• Mindfulness support through the Student Support Team
• Regular check-ins by the support team

If you demonstrate any behaviour that we consider bullying:

• We will involve your parents/carers
• We will look to modify your behaviour in a supportive environment
• We may put in place serious consequences including suspension from school

Remember to speak up against bullying: 

• Standing by silently, or laughing along, helps encourage bullying
• Reach out and connect with students who look like they are left out
• Speak up and report to a member of staff if you observe a fellow student being bullied or harmed

If you are being bullied, or if you witness it , report it to any member of staff. If you feel it is not getting dealt with then tell someone else.
