Bullying

Let's talk about bullying – together

Bullying happens in every school. What makes the difference is whether it's noticed, talked about and dealt with. We've asked every school in Wandsworth to share its figures openly, so parents and schools can learn from each other – not to point fingers.

How your school compares for its size

Each dot is a school. The shaded funnel shows the range you'd expect: smaller schools naturally bounce around more, so the funnel widens on the left. A school outside the funnel has an unusually high or low rate for its size.

If your child is being bullied

Start by listening – let your child tell you what's happened, write it down with dates and ask how they'd like you to help. Then raise it with the class teacher or head of year, ask for the school's anti-bullying policy (every school must have one), and agree when you'll hear back.

What's working in Wandsworth schools

We're asking schools what has made the biggest difference in tackling bullying – how they help pupils speak up, how they work with parents, and what they'd tell another school. Their answers will be shared here, so every school can learn from the best.

69 schools asked · 4 shared their figures · 0 declined · 65 yet to reply. Schools record incidents in different ways, so small differences don't mean much. Figures from 1 to 4 may be shown as "<5" to protect pupils' privacy. The line in each list marks the typical school here – there's no national figure, because nobody else collects these.

Ordered by the bars – fewest recorded incidents per 100 pupils first. More recorded incidents often means pupils feel able to speak up and staff write every report down – so ask a school how it responds, not just how many it records.

Across Wandsworth: suspensions for bullying and sexual misconduct

From the Department for Education, which publishes these for council areas rather than individual schools. Most bullying never leads to a suspension, so these show only part of the picture.

  • Secondary schools, 2024/25: bullying 14 (1.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 1.9); sexual misconduct 19 (1.5 per 1,000 pupils; England 1.7)
  • Primary schools, 2024/25: bullying 2 (0.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2); sexual misconduct 0 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
