Amesbury CE Primary School

Anti-Bullying

We take bullying of any sort very seriously and will deal with it immediately. Our anti-bullying week helps children to identify whether bullying is happening and how to report it and stop it.

Each year in November there is a national anti-bullying week and during this time we also have a focus on how we can all play a part in putting a stop to bullying in our school. We do this through assemblies, PSHE lessons and other activities.

Our amazing Deputy Headteacher, Mrs Bailey, has been working on something wonderful for the school to raise awareness of anti-bullying and how it can be dealt with effectively in our school, which will be announced soon. Come back soon to find out our exciting news!
