Anti Bullying Policy
Anti-Bullying Policy
At GradeSmart Tuition, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and respectful learning environment for every student. Bullying of any kind — whether online or in person — is not tolerated under any circumstances.
Our goal is to ensure all students feel valued, protected, and confident. This applies to every child, regardless of age, ability, race, religion, gender, or background. All tutors and staff are trained to recognise signs of bullying and to uphold our safeguarding standards.
What Is Bullying?
Bullying is any repeated behaviour intended to hurt, intimidate, humiliate, or isolate another person. This can include:
• Physical bullying such as hitting or pushing
• Verbal bullying such as insults, threats, or name-calling
• Social or emotional bullying such as exclusion or manipulation
• Cyberbullying, including harmful or threatening messages, sharing embarrassing content, trolling, or online harassment
Bullying can have a serious impact on a child’s wellbeing, mental health, and academic performance, and we treat all incidents seriously.
Preventing Bullying
We work proactively to prevent bullying by:
• Promoting kindness, respect, and positive communication
• Creating an inclusive environment where every child feels heard
• Encouraging students to speak up if something feels wrong
• Training tutors to recognise and respond to early signs of bullying
• Maintaining a clear behaviour code for all students and tutors
We encourage all students to treat one another with empathy and understanding.
Reporting Bullying
If a student experiences or witnesses bullying, we ask that it is reported immediately.
Reports can be made by students, parents, tutors, or staff. Once a concern is raised, we will:
Acknowledge the report quickly
Investigate the incident fairly and thoroughly
Take appropriate action, which may include warnings, parental contact, or removal from the programme
Provide support to the affected student and, where appropriate, the student involved in the behaviour
Any incident suggesting a safeguarding risk will be handled in line with our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.
Diversity and Inclusion
We celebrate diversity and believe all students should feel safe and respected. We are committed to:
• Ensuring no student is discriminated against
• Welcoming learners from all backgrounds
• Creating an environment where differences are understood and valued
• Promoting inclusive and respectful behaviour in every class
Working Together
Preventing bullying is a shared responsibility. Students, tutors, and parents all contribute to maintaining a positive and safe learning environment.
