Anti-Bullying at Esher Church School.
At Esher Church School our approach to bullying reflects our key Christian Values. We are committed to nurturing and valuing everyone in our school community for their uniqueness and individuality. We strive to create a safe environment where healthy, positive relationships are fostered and where resilience is developed. We believe that it is the right of every child to feel safe, respected and free from hurtful or harmful experiences.
Through our relationship and behaviour cornerstones of, `Ready, Respectful, Safe,` we support children to develop a moral code which fosters a sense of responsibility for themselves and others.
As a school we are alert to the signs of bullying at all times and act promptly and fairly against it. The issue of anti-bullying is embedded into our school ethos and curriculum so that there is a constant focus on its prevention. Any incidence of bullying is addressed promptly by our staff members. We create an atmosphere where all members of our community are encouraged to share concerns. Children feel comfortable talking to teachers and other staff members in the knowledge that their concerns will be effectively dealt with.
