Bullying
Uckfield College will not tolerate bullying of any type
If your child is experiencing bullying please report it as soon as possible
At Uckfield College bullying is defined as:
Repeated behaviour which is intended to hurt someone either emotionally or physically, and is often aimed at certain people because of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation or any other aspect such as appearance or disability.
What should students do if they are being bullied? What should parents/carers do if they are aware a student is being bullied?

We will take the allegations seriously and act quickly. If there is continued bullying the level of sanction will increase and we will do all we can to support the victim.
