We have a number of trained Anti-bullying Ambassadors in the school.  These pupils have received specific training around identifying bullying, taking disclosures of bullying and safeguarding their peers.  Any pupil can talk to an Anti-bullying Ambassador about worries they have about themselves, or their peers, at any time. 

In the Advance and Achieve Phase Anti-bullying Ambassadors lead assemblies and a breaktime session for drop-in chats, advice or support. Pupils can also report an concern to their form tutor who they have contact with every morning, as well as their Progress Leader or any member of staff. Pupils and/or parents can report a concern using the “we’re listening” button on the website (under wellbeing).

Ysgol Afon Wen defines bullying as:   ‘Bullying can happen between individual people or groups of people.  It is when someone makes repeated and on purpose attempts to hurt or embarrass someone else.  It can involve an unfair balance of power or personalities.’

Our school has robust procedures to raise awareness of, challenge, and prevent bullying. There are a variety of methods to report bullying.   

To raise a concern please speak to your form tutor or Progress Leader or complete the following form:
