Anti-Bullying
Celebrate Diversity
Diversity and differences are actively and visibly celebrated and welcomed
across the whole School.
Value Kindness
We are a kind and caring community that celebrates compassion, courage
and citizenship.
Educate to Empower
We challenge bullying through education and encourage all members of
our School community to recognise bullying, acknowledge it is unacceptable
and report it.
Listen, Reassure & Respond
All students, parents and carers are listened to and influence strategies and
approaches to prevent, report and respond to incidents of bullying to allow
students to learn in a safe, supportive and caring environment
West Exe School are proud to have been awarded the Anti-bullying Gold Kitemark Award by the Anti-bullying Alliance (ABA).
The Anti-Bullying Quality Mark is a national scheme which endorses how good schools are at preventing bullying. It challenges them to establish effective, sustainable anti-bullying policies and strategies.
West Exe School achieved the ABQM-UK Gold Award in January 2025 because staff, students, parents and Governors demonstrated that anti-bullying has become embedded in life at the school. Students and parents/carers are actively involved in the development of positive relationships in the school, supported by staff who tailor bullying prevention to individuals and their circumstances
