‘Strathesk Primary School have just achieved the BIG Award for excellence in challenging bullying. Bullying can occur in any school, but some schools really work hard to ensure that their pupils can learn in a safe and happy environment. Strathesk Primary School have an excellent and up to date anti-bullying policy, they involve pupils and their parents in their strategies. They even have a mascot superhero “Purpleman” who helps to get the message across from outer space! I am delighted that this school has now received the recognition they deserve for having a whole school approach to tackling bullying.’
