Booker Hill Primary and Nursery School is committed to providing a supportive, caring and safe environment without fear of being bullied. We treat each other with respect, as stated in the Booker Hill Code, and we refuse to tolerate bullying of any kind at our school. Our social, moral, spiritual and cultural curriculum underpins everything that we do. As a school, we have previously been e-safety ambassadors in Buckinghamshire when a group of staff and then pupils presented the work we do as a school at conferences both locally and county-wide.
As part of our on-going work, we regularly hold anti-bullying assemblies, talk about personal safety in PSHE lessons, teach online safety lessons as part of our computing curriculum and hold key events that bring the theme to the forefront and ensure that it is always part of our ethos. Recently, our Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in a 'Show Racism the Red Card' event at Wycombe Wanderers football club where they enjoyed an educational workshop designed to educate them about how to tackle racism in society.
The 2020 Theme
This year's anti-bullying theme is, 'United Against Bullying' which fits perfectly within our rich, diverse and all inclusive school community. Soon we will add some of the photographs from our most recent anti-bullying week activities. This taking place THIS WEEK (16th - 20th November)
Pupil Voice
As part of our drive to monitor what we do, we carry out pupil and parent surveys as well as talking directly to pupils to gauge their views on the strategies we use to ensure that they feel safe, free from bullying and that they enjoy coming to school.
The quotes below, taken from our Autumn 17 pupil voice interviews, clearly illustrate that our pupils feel safe and well-informed.
All of these quotes support the outcomes from the pupil and parent voice surveys, both of which show that pupils feel safe at Booker Hill and that parents / carers are also happy that their children are safe and enjoy school.
Through the Curriculum
Through our work around anti-bullying, we seek to actively promote the anti-bullying message and educate children about appropriate behaviour choices, rights and responsibilities. We:
- Provide students with opportunities to talk about bullying and enlist their support in defining bullying as unacceptable behaviour. ï‚·
- Involve students in establishing classroom rules against bullying. Such rules require a commitment from the teacher to not "look the other way" when incidents involving bullying occur. ï‚·
- Provide classroom activities and discussions related to bullying and violence, including the harm that they cause and strategies to reduce them. ï‚·
- Develop a classroom action plan to ensure that students know what to do when they observe a bully/ victim confrontation.
