Orchid Vale Primary School

Bullying is usually defined as repeated behaviour which is intended to hurt someone either emotionally or physically, and is often aimed at certain people because of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation or any other aspect such as appearance or disability.

Bullying can take many forms including:

• physical assault
• social bullying
• threatening behaviour 
• name calling
• online - bullying

At Orchid Vale, children know that we are a "telling" school. If a child feels upset or hurt by the behaviour of others, they are encouraged to tell a trusted adult.

We also have "Anti Bullying Ambassadors". This is a team of pupils who have applied for the role and work throughout the school to share the anti-bullying message.

For more information, please see our anti-bullying policy.
