With bullying in schools becoming a key area of focus for most educational institutions , TES employs a zero tolerance stance on bullying .
“ The school ’ s core values promote a healthy atmosphere within school . Students are constantly encouraged , in all that they do , to make good choices and respect others ,” noted Headmaster Kieron .
“ Inevitably children sometimes get things wrong , and when they do , our excellent pastoral leaders work closely with them to discuss where things went awry and how the school ’ s values may have been compromised . By reinforcing our core values in our daily lives and routines the children ’ s general awareness , and social and emotional intelligence are effectively nurtured .”
