Safety

Anti-bullying policy

The school policy is aimed at offering children, parents and teachers safety and security. Only when a child feels safe, development flourishes. Our guiding statements form the starting points for the way in which we interact with each other and together ensure that the school is a pleasant, safe environment for everyone.

Because we believe it is important that everyone feels comfortable at our school, we use the positive behaviour approach. We also have an anti-bullying protocol that we use when bullying occurs. You can find this protocol (Anti-Bullying Policy Primary) on our website.
