Protection From Bullying

Both staff and pupils at our school work hard to ensure that safety in terms of bullying is at a maximum level at all times.

The school's anti-bullying policy, which is available in a pupil-friendly leaflet, for example, aims to ensure that all those connected with the school understand that bullying behaviour (including that of a racist or sexist nature) will not be tolerated under any circumstances. It aims to promote a school ethos where bullying is regarded as unacceptable by everyone.

The students have established an Anti-Bullying Committee, which is made up of two to three students from each year group, representing the school with regards to Anti-Bullying issues. The committee meets once or twice every term to discus upcoming events and schemes within the school in relation to Anti-Bullying.
There are five anti-bullying boxes around school. Notes from students can be placed in the boxes to air their concerns about any bullying issues. The boxes are emptied once a week and any issues dealt with.

To complement this there is a Peer Support Group (PSG) in school, made up of a group of students from years 9, 12 and 13, who are in turn assigned to a form in the lower school. They also offer support to the whole school as a peer to talk to if they feel that they don't want to talk to the Learning Mentor.

Supporting these issues from a staff point of view is our Learning Mentor, Ms Walker, who has an office close to the Sixth Form study area. Ms Walker holds voluntary drop-in sessions where pupils can discuss any issues they have, or they can arrange a specific appointment time with her.

It must also be remembered that pupils are encouraged to use whichever method of communication they feel most comfortable with to let us know about bullying and other issues, and they can talk to ANY member of staff that they feel they can confide in, as well as members of the Anti-Bullying committee and Peer Support Group.

Contact Information
You can contact the Learning Mentor directly be emailing swalker@wirralgrammarboys.com, or you can email the Peer Support Group with psgrep@wirralgrammarboys.com. Alternatively, the head of the Anti-Bullying Committee is Mrs Turner, and her email is kturner@wirralgrammarboys.com. When you are emailing a member of staff, please make it clear in the subject the nature of your enquiry.
If you are a student you can also speak to your PSG representative when they visit your form, or visit the Learning Mentor’s office, which is by the Sixth Form Study area (Go to the left of the canteen as you head towards it, and it is the second door on your left).
We encourage students to report any issue of bullying or any other issues in any way they feel comfortable with. Any student or parent with information of bullying or otherwise they to report can also do it in any way they feel suit.

Anti-Bullying Week

Anti-Bullying Week sends a clear and positive message that bullying is neither acceptable nor inevitable in our schools and communities. Anti-Bullying Week 2010 will take place from 15-19 November. This year we are looking at the importance of Taking action together.

Taking action to stop bullying
Bullying will only stop if we take action together but we know that significant numbers of children and young people who witness bulling still don’t tell anyone or take action to stop it. It might also be parents and carers, other adults and schools and communities who turn a blind eye or don’t take action to stop bullying.

What really works?
We think the majority of children, adults, schools and communities do want to do something to tackle bullying. The problem is that sometimes it can be hard to know who to tell, who can help and what strategies really work.

You can see the official Anti-Bullying Alliance website here. This site also provides you with extra information about Anti-Bullying Week.
