Bully Watch

What is bullying?

Bullying is any behaviour which intends to hurt another person physically or emotionally. It includes not only the more obvious actions like punching and kicking, name-calling and teasing, but also spreading rumours, pointing out physical handicaps, shouting racial taunts, excluding victims from groups, humiliating, or spreading stories that a child wants to keep private.

Earlsheaton Technology College takes the bullying of its children very seriously and has therefore put into place a strict bullying policy that must be adhered to.

If you feel you are a victim of bullying or know of anybody being bullied you can post us a note via the bully box situated by reception opposite M1...
