Anti Bullying

The Cheadle Academy recognises that all forms of bullying, especially if left unaddressed, can have a devastating effect on individuals; it can create a barrier to learning and have serious consequences for mental wellbeing. By effectively preventing and tackling bullying our school can help to create a safe and disciplined environment, where pupils are able to learn and fulfil their potential.

We are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all students so they can learn in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at our academy. If bullying does occur, all students should be able to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively. This means that anyone who knows that bullying is happening is expected to tell the staff.

What do Ofsted say about us? "Most pupils are polite and respectful towards adults and each other. Pupils are safe. They know who to talk to about any concerns they have. Pupils say that bullying can sometimes happen, but when they report it to staff, it is resolved quickly"
