Anti-Bullying | Woodfield Academy

Anti-Bullying at Woodfield Academy

At Woodfield Academy, we strive for excellence in all forms, through a caring and mutually supportive partnership between school and the wider community. For this to be realised, it is essential that students, staff, governors and parents recognise that bullying is not acceptable.

At Woodfield, the entire community has a responsibility to tackle bullying issues and all pupils are encouraged to champion that bullying is not accepted in any form.

As part of our commitment to ensuring that students take significant ownership in tackling and eradicating bullying behaviour, we have scheduled assemblies and anti-bullying messages within the curriculum to address localized and national issues associated with bullying. We also encourage pupils to speak up about issues and stand up for those who struggle to do so themselves.

Why Should Bullying Be Reported?

Bullying is unacceptable behaviour. It is not right that one person makes another feel uncomfortable.
Being the recipient of bullying can either bring on or exacerbate depression, anxiety, eating disorders and many other problems.
Being bullied can make people feel isolated, withdrawn, humiliated, upset, angry, frustrated or even feel like they want to self-harm
