Speaking Out Against Bullying

Learning to understand and manage conflict is an important part of growing up. Bullying is not simply a ‘falling out’. Research shows that experiencing bullying can have a significant impact on a young person’s life well into adulthood.

To ensure we work to prevent bullying, act quickly when it takes place and avoid misidentifying bullying at Waddesdon, we share with students this simplified definition of bullying…..

Our student body provides support and guidance in a range of ways so students who encounter bullying can feel heard and supported:

• 6th Form Mediators
• Anti-bullying student focus group ‘Speak up – Speak out’
• Work with the Anti-Bullying Alliance
• Work with the leadership team to develop a student speak behaviour policy
• Whole school assemblies (delivered by staff and students)

Students who have concerns about bullying can also email: safe@waddesdonschool.com
