ANTI-BULLYING
Bullying is when a person or group deliberately intends to cause someone else to feel hurt, distressed, threatened, or humiliated.
Bullying is not acceptable!
- We want everyone at Fernvale Primary School to feel safe and secure.
- We believe no one should be bullied in any way.
- Verbal abuse of another pupil is bullying.
- A physical attack on a pupil is bullying.
- We must all make sure bullies never win.
If you, or someone you know, are being bullied:
TAKE ACTION
- Watching and doing nothing supports the bully.
- Tell a member of staff or a member of your family immediately.
You cannot deal with a bully by yourself
- Talk to a teacher, your parents, or an adult you can trust.
- Do not give in to demands for money, sweets, or anything else.
- Do not try to buy the bully off with sweets or other presents.
TOGETHER, WE CAN AND WILL STOP BULLYING

Links for Parents and Carers
Using the internet can make learning fun, fast and easy. The following sites offer help to keeping you and your child safe online:
YouTube Kids
More and more of us are using the internet for research and leisure and one of the most popular destinations is YouTube. You can find all manner of subject-specific information on YouTube but not every subject is appropriate for children. Google has created a children's app called YoutubeKids. This is down-loadable to android and apple devices. We provide the link to the parent guide for this app.
Using the Internet is great fun if you surf safely.
Remember! Never go online without asking permission from a parent or carer.
Foundation Stage and KS1 children - we think you should always have your parent or carer with you if you go online.
