Silver Anti-Bullying Quality Mark Award

Huge congratulations are in order as we have been awarded the Silver level Anti-Bullying Quality Mark award. A special mention goes to our Anti-Bullying team led by Mr Brown for all the tireless work put in to ensure success.

Key highlights from the report include:

The Anti-Bullying Ambassador is making a significant contribution to the strategic development of anti-bullying.
There is a collective commitment amongst students to look out for each other.
Anti-bullying has been part of the School’s strategic thinking for a number of years.
Parents feel that the School has established a positive culture of anti-bullying.
‘Spot prizes’, which recognise pupils’ and students’ application of the concepts and skills that they’ve learnt, are a ‘golden thread’ which meet a Gold standard.
The response to bullying behaviour also compliments the School’s aims to develop pupils’ empathy and readiness to establish and maintain peer relationships.

Alongside this, there were multiple points achieved that contribute towards the Gold Standard, which is the next stepping stone for us as a School.

With various procedures and interventions in place to make sure every child feels safe to come to School, bullying at West Kirby School is taken seriously. Linking into our values, to be kind, nurturing and respectful, the anti-bullying work we do puts feelings at the forefront, making sure we can make a profound effect on those we work with.
