At St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School, we encourage and promote a positive ethos of good relationships and responses to behaviour so that every pupil can be happy and successful. There are high expectations of how we treat ourselves and other people to ensure that we can work and play together, promoting excellent attitudes to learning and the faith life of the school. Please find below some of the key documents that we follow to ensure that our school is a calm and purposeful place, where everyone can achieve.

St. Anthony’s Catholic Primary School has a dedicated task force to tackle bullying, the ‘KiVa team’ which consists of three members of teaching staff who have been specially trained to tackle bullying incidents. Together with the child’s class teacher they tackle any cases of bullying that may arise. For 2023 – 2024, members of the team are: Mrs Tipney, Miss Welch, Mrs Monaghan and Miss Owen.

 If a parent/carer suspects their child is being bullied or has a reason to believe that they are bullying others, please contact the school so that the matter can be dealt with as efficiently and as soon as possible. Discuss bullying together with your child even if they are not bullied or does not bully others. It is important that you and your child together think about what to do if someone is being bullied at school. Please see the anti-bullying policy below.
