Report a Bullying Concern

What should I do if I feel bullied?

As a community, we aim to provide a safe place where every person is valued and cherished. We strive to be tolerant, kind and responsible, acting justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with our God (Micah 6:8). Positive relationships are central to school life and the vast majority of students manage friendships well. However, when difficulties arise, it is important that students feel heard, supported and know where to turn.

We believe that all bullying is unacceptable and recognise the harmful impact it can have. Students are supported to understand the difference between bullying and everyday friendship challenges, and are encouraged to share concerns early with a trusted adult such as their tutor, class teacher or Head of Year. Both those who experience bullying and those involved in bullying behaviour will be supported appropriately.

Parents and Carers are encouraged to raise any concern, however small, using the Report a Bullying Concern below or by contacting your child’s Pastoral Support Manager. To do so, please email admin@laretraite.co.uk All concerns are taken seriously and handled with care, professionalism and a clear focus on student safety and wellbeing.

Student Anti-Bullying Ambassadors

Our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors are trained through the The Diana Award Anti-Bullying Campaign and play an important role in promoting a culture of kindness, respect and inclusion across the school. All student leaders are trained as ambassadors and can be recognised by their Blue Diana Award badge (grey jumper and badge in the main school; badge in the Sixth Form).

What does an Anti-Bullying Ambassador do?

  • Ensure that students who are being bullied have someone to talk to and know how to report concerns.

  • Support students who have experienced bullying.

  • Help ensure incidents are recorded and monitored appropriately.

  • Promote a sense of belonging within our community.

  • Reinforce that bullying is not accepted at La Retraite.

  • Support staff in leading lessons and assemblies on anti-bullying.

  • Look out for and support other students.

If you need someone to talk to, please come and find one of our ambassadors — they are always happy to listen and help. See below for a photo of some of our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors.
