At The ISE , we are a caring and inclusive school with a fundamental responsibility to protect the well-being of every student in our community. We actively aim to recognise, respect, and celebrate each other’s differences and similarities, viewing positive relationships as a core requirement for overall well-being.

Acts of bullying are against our values and the core principles of respect, care, and inclusion that define our community at The ISE.

Bullying can cause serious, long-term harm to an individual’s physical and mental health and can severely impact their educational attainment and social development. Therefore, we consider it the absolute responsibility of all staff to help create a school environment that is safe, secure, and free from all forms of threat or harassment.

We believe in fostering a community where individuals take responsibility for their actions. Our approach to managing bullying incidents is twofold, focusing on accountability, restoration, and healing:

1. Support for the Victim: Immediate and comprehensive support will be provided to the student targeted by the bullying to ensure their emotional and physical safety and to help them recover.
2. Support and Accountability for the Perpetrator: All acts of bullying will be followed up with appropriate restorative practices and necessary support. This is designed not only to address the harm caused but also to help the student understand the impact of their actions and learn constructive ways to interact within our community.

We are committed to maintaining an atmosphere that allows every student to grow and learn to the best of their abilities in a genuinely safe and welcoming atmosphere.
