Anti-Bullying
We want every child to feel safe at school. Bullying is a very clear infringement of our Golden Rules and we do not tolerate any form of bullying in school or out of school where it involves children attending Bishops Cannings Church of England (Aided) Primary School. A copy of our Anti-Bullying policy can be downloaded here.
