If at ANY TIME students wish to report bullying either within the academy, out of school hours or on social media, students can use our " Lets talk about it" feature. This is a button that students can press, it gives them access to a short form for them to complete.  Once a student has completed the form our ur safeguarding/ Pastoral team will be in touch with to help students resolve any issue.

The button is available on all student computers in the academy via the Learning Platform and can also be accessed by clicking the button below:

Academy-wide Anti-Bullying Coordinator and Governor is:

Student Anti-Bullying Ambassadors 

Whilst we have a fantastic team of adults for students to access, we also encourage peer support for struggles such as peer issues and bullying as students can better empathise with and learn from one another when they are going through similar experiences. Our Anti Bullying Ambassadors are trained to support other students, providing strategies for tackling issues as well as encouraging friendships with those of different ages.
