Anti-Bullying
At Bishop Perowne, we take bullying seriously and are committed to creating a safe and respectful environment for every student.
We work hard to educate our community about behaviours that may be considered bullying through assemblies, tutor times, and our PSHE curriculum. Our team of Anti-Bullying Ambassadors also plays an important role in “Celebrating Diversity” and supporting anyone who may need help.
If you are experiencing or witnessing bullying, you can use this confidential page to report any concerns safely. Our staff will listen, support you, and take appropriate action. Speaking up helps protect you and others – together, we can make our school a safe and respectful place for everyone.
How do I get help?

The Pastoral Team will then assign a staff member to your concern and arrange a meeting with you. Please note that appointments may not always be offered immediately due to our triage process.
