Ofsted commission survey on bullying in schools

Ofsted have commissioned a survey on ‘Pupils’ experiences of bullying in school’. The survey will explore pupils’ experiences of bullying in school, and will include a focus on different groups of learners.

This survey will evaluate the effectiveness of anti-bullying practices in schools and make recommendations for improvement as appropriate. The report will extrapolate the elements of successful practice in schools that lead to the prevention of bullying in general. In addition it will contain case studies of how schools have tackled and prevented particular types of bullying. This will focus on homophobic bullying and the bullying of disabled pupils.
