Anti-Bullying
At Barkston Ash, we aim to prevent bullying through:
- The school’s ethos and mission of With God's Guidance, we Grow and Learn.
- A curriculum which fosters excellent relationships between all members of our school family.
- Individual classroom strategies such as 'Worry boxes' where pupils can record concerns about themselves or others.
- Community involvement in anti-bullying theme week.
- Internet Safety taught throughout the curriculum and specific Theme days.
- A curriculum which encompasses PSHE, RSE, Virtues to Live By, mental health and well-being.
- Peer Mentors who are trained to support pupils with resolving low-level disagreements.
- Learning Mentor weekly drop in session which is open to all children to attend.
- Restorative approach to Behaviour management, ensuring pupils understand the impact of their actions and learn from their mistakes, adjusting future behaviour.
- Fostering strong relationships with parents and carers to ensure openness when addressing challenging behaviour both in and outside school.
