The King’s Hospital School aims to create a positive living and learning environment, which focuses on respect for the individual. All members of staff share a collective responsibility, under the direction of the Headmaster, to act in preventing bullying or aggressive behaviour by any member of the school community.
The King’s Hospital School promotes habits of mutual respect, courtesy and an awareness of the interdependence of people in our community. We aim to create an atmosphere that encourages students to disclose and discuss incidents of bullying behaviour, sexual harassment, racism, and any form of discrimination. We also recognise the role that parents play in the task of making our school a pleasant and safe environment for all.
Awards
In recent years the school has achieved nationally recognised awards promoting good behaviour in school.
Inclusive School Award- Centre of Excellence status
Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM) provides schools with a nationally recognised framework to celebrate the steps they are taking to be inclusive. An inclusive school gives all pupils – regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, achievements, or background – equal opportunities to succeed. Inclusive education is vitally important to create an environment where pupils, staff and the wider school community can achieve their full potential and build a brighter future for all. The King’s Hospital are proud to be the first and only school in the republic of Ireland to achieve this mark.
LGBTQ+ Quality Mark
The LGBTQ+ Quality Mark provides a comprehensive approach to promoting wellbeing and inclusion for LGBTQ+ young people in schools across Ireland. The LGBTQ+ Quality Mark focuses on the four key areas of wellbeing promotion from an LGBTQ+ perspective:
- Creating an LGBTQ+ inclusive culture and environment.
- Resourcing an LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum.
- Nurturing LGBTQ+ inclusive relationships and partnerships.
- Supporting LGBTQ+ inclusive policies and planning.
Bí Cineálta- Anti bullying Policy
The school fully adheres to the national framework of procedures and policies called Bí Cineálta (Be Kind) which is designed to prevent and address bullying behaviour in school nationally.
