We want our school to be a happy place where pupils and staff feel valued, respected and part of a team. It is a school where we are proud to celebrate our differences. Pupils at Philips High want everyone to behave in a friendly and respectful way with not bullying, negativity towards others including no use of racist, sexist or homophobic language. We believe that everyone at Philips High is equal and should be treated equally.
Bullying can always be reported directly to any member of staff in school, parent or via the SHARP (School Help Advice Reporting Page System) system available on the school website: http://philips.thesharpsystem.com/
