Sidmouth College is proud to announce that the college has achieved the Silver Anti-Bullying Quality Mark
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.
Sidmouth College achieved the ABQM-UK Silver Award because staff, students and parents demonstrated that anti-bullying has become embedded in life at the school. Students at the college play a significant role in preventing bullying behaviour in partnership with staff members. They also make a significant contribution to the college's culture of upstanding and to its carefully planned approach to anti-bullying.
The college would like to say a particular thank you to Miss Hughes for her dedication to achieving this Quality Mark, as well as to their amazing staff, governors, students, parents and carers for their hard work and commitment to creating such a positive atmosphere across the college.
In the last academic year, a group of student Anti Bullying Ambassadors from the college ran a training session for staff on identifying whether behaviour is bullying or banter. Staff found the session engaging and informative and they felt they benefitted from the student’s perspective. The Anti Bullying Ambassadors then ran a week of assemblies for their peers, where they performed a role play to exemplify how Sidmouth’s bullying investigative processes could be improved. These suggestions have now been adopted.
Sidmouth College, which is part of the Ted Wragg Trust, is a successful, unique and special place of learning. Students achieve academic success, develop their creativity, excel on the sports field and encounter a wide range of new experiences in a safe and enjoyable environment, encouraged by a team of dedicated and highly experienced professionals.
Alex Evans, Headteacher at Sidmouth College said:
"We are incredibly proud to have achieved the Silver Anti-Bullying Quality Mark. This award recognises the hard work of our staff, students, parents and carers in creating a culture where respect, kindness and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do."
