Anti-Bullying

At Ivanhoe, we believe that every child and adult matters and this is at the heart of everything we do. It is important that all members of Ivanhoe School should be able to participate in activities without fear or constant anxiety. We are working with staff, students and parents/carers to create a community where bullying is not tolerated.

Our Anti-Bullying Policy states, bullying covers a range of areas and how they are tackled depends on the nature of the bullying incident. For clarification purposes, bullying is defined as

“Intentional, selective, unprovoked, repetitive and hurtful behaviour directed towards another person.”

At times incidents will be reported to us that do not meet our definition of bullying but are in breach of our Behaviour Policy. They will still be taken very seriously, investigated and sanctioned according to the policy.

We are determined to continue our work in this crucial area and we need your support as parents and carers to further eradicate bullying in our school and in our community. Our Anti-Bullying Policy states;

If a student reports being bullied to a parent/carer:

• Please contact the Year Group Pastoral Team as quickly as possible with as much information as possible.
• If you are concerned about the way in which an issue has been handled, please contact:
