School Statement Anti-Bullying at Whaley Thorns
Following our work in 2022 2023, the school was awarded the 'Anti Bullying All Together Kitemark' for its work with pupils to support better understanding in this important area.
Whaley Thorns Primary School is against bullying and any form of behaviour which causes physical or emotional pain or distress to another person.
Here, our Peer Listeners have worked with the School Council in October 2023 to write our whole school rules and definitions, based on our Kitemark work.
Remember…
Definition
Bullying can be…
” Talk Talk Talk ”
– to a member of staff, a school ‘Peer Listener’, your friends, a trusted adult or your parents.

Remember…
- You have a right to be safe.
- Nobody has the right to make you unhappy.
- If you are being bullied or know that someone is being bullied, tell someone.
- It is not your fault.
- Keeping quiet gives bullies power.
- By just telling someone you can take that power away.
- Remember it is the bully that has the problem and not you.
