KiVa Programme
The internationally successful KiVa anti-bullying
programme is taught across the Primary School and any
issues are dealt with via this programme. Jennifer Ioannou
and Christine Barlow are the KiVa teachers and any
issues of bullying are referred to them. Bullying has
three components:
• Harm is meant
• The actions are repeated over time
• The actions come from a position of power
If you have any concerns about bullying towards or by
your child please alert Christine or Jennifer immediately.
The success rate of this programme is impressive, and by
working as a team, we can help to maintain a happy school
with happy children.
