One of the five points in the Mission Statement for St Teresa’s School states that the school will endeavour: To maintain a happy, disciplined and orderly environment in which it promotes dignity, order and respect. There is a high expectation that the school and the wider community at St Teresa’s will fully support this statement; that all members of the school will behave in a way that will allow for the full development of all individuals personally, socially and academically; that all will show tolerance and respect towards individuals and a responsibility towards the community as a whole. Research tells us that what children fear most is bullying and bullying behaviour takes place in all schools. This school does not tolerate bullying and it is everyone’s responsibility to see that incidents of bullying are dealt with immediately. All staff should be aware of what to look for, and staff and pupils should be familiar with the procedure to follow when incidents of bullying occur. Bullying is unacceptable in this school and will not be tolerated. The school also recognises that it is important to be aware of bullying perpetrated outside school which spills over into the school. The school will do what is reasonably practicable to eliminate any such bullying. |
