ANTI-BULLYING ADVICE
At St. Mary's, we take any form of bullying very seriously. If you have any problems, either as a child, or as a parent concerned for your child please call in and see me. The links below will offer you advice also. I hope that you find them useful.

National Bullying Helpline

Bullies pick on others to make life better from themselves. How sad is that? Sometimes, a bully will pick on someone because they are jealous or because they think that they will be seen as ‘bigger and tougher' and it boosts their sad ego. For the bully, behaving in a bullying manner is seen as a way to win friends – but this is a myth and certainly a big mistake !
