Bullying, especially if left unaddressed, can have a devastating effect on individuals. It can be a barrier to their learning and have serious consequences for their mental health. Bullying which takes place at school does not only affect an individual during childhood but can have a lasting effect on their lives well into adulthood. By effectively preventing and tackling bullying, schools can help to create safe, disciplined environments where pupils are able to learn and fulfil their potential. 

At Newry High School we operate a strict Anti-Bullying Policy and make every effort to ensure that bullying is removed from our school environment. 

We have implemented innovative systems including our ‘Whisper’ function on our school website where instances of bullying can be effectively and discreetly report to our Safeguarding Team and we also have a whisper box which is situated at the front of the school at the reception.
