S.T.O.P.

Sadly at school things happen in the playground and in school that make children unhappy. Pocklington Community Junior School is no different.  The children in school have written this guide to help stop unacceptable behaviour.

What is unacceptable behaviour?

It may be name calling, laughing, staring, pushing, crowding, following, kicking, punching, threatening, telling lies about others, poking stealing, pulling faces, spoiling other children's games, racist comments, swearing, getting money by intimidation and isolating people.  It is not a single incident. It is S.T.O.P. (Several Times On Purpose) with intention to hurt.

What can you do about it?

DEBUG - Ignore them

                  Walk away

                  Ask them firmly to stop

                  Tell an adult

DON'T Argue with the bully

DON'T Let the bully see you are upset

DON'T Fight back

DON'T Be pressurised by the bullies to break rules and do unacceptable things

Report it

There are people you can talk to such as playground buddies, friends, staff on duty, teachers, parents, school council representatives or anyone you feel comfortable talking to. You could write a note in your planner or diary.

KEEP TELLING SOMEONE UNTIL YOU FEEL HAPPIER

At school we will listen to you, investigate the problem and make sure the situation is resolved

PARENTS - please discuss this with your child to help them understand how they can deal with issues arising in school.
