Bullying
Ilfracombe Arts College aims ensure that all members of the school community feel welcome, safe and happy and so are able to learn and make progress. Bullying of any kind can prevent this happening. Bullying makes people feel unsafe and as a school community, we take bullying seriously. Pupils, parents and carers should understand that reporting bullying is essential, and be assured that the school will support them fully whenever bullying is reported.
Bullying both verbal and physical will not be tolerated in this college.
It is the responsibility of students, staff, parents and carers, to prevent it happening, and once it has been identified, to prevent it from continuing. If bullying does occur, all pupils should know who to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively. The college will investigate all reports of bullying thoroughly.
