We take bullying very seriously and have a variety of ways you can report and get help if you are being bullied. You can report it in person to any member of staff at the academy including your tutor, head of year or the safeguarding team.
Anyone can report bullying here including people who are being bullied, a friend or family member.
Speak to your support network (e.g. friends, family, teachers and other people you trust) about how you're feeling. They will be able to listen and provide support. You can always speak to the safeguarding team. If you are in need of further support, here are some useful links to resources that may help you manage this difficult situation and your emotions.
