Anti-bullying Policy

We are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all of our pupils so they can learn in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at our school. If bullying does occur, all students should be able to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively.

What is Bullying?

Bullying is the use of aggression with the intention of hurting another person. Bullying results in pain and distress to the victim.

Bullying can be:

  •     Emotional – being unfriendly, excluding, tormenting (e.g. hiding books, threatening gestures).
  •     Physical – pushing, kicking, hitting, punching or any use of violence.
  •     Racist – racial taunts, graffiti, gestures.
  •     Sexual – unwanted physical contact or sexually abusive comments.
  •     Homophobic – because of, or focussing on the issue of sexuality.
  •     Verbal – name-calling, sarcasm, spreading rumours, teasing.

Why is it Important to Respond to Bullying?

Bullying hurts. No one deserves to be a victim of bullying. Everybody has the right to be treated with respect.

As a language school we have a responsibility to respond promptly and effectively to issues of bullying.

Action Required

Should any student become aware of bullying behaviour they should report it to member of LAL staff immediately. Should any member of staff become aware of bullying behaviour, they should report it to a member of the Welfare Department immediately.

They did everything they could to look after me…

I’d like to take this time to say something about the time I spent in Cape Town, especially the accommodation. Even if my host family is away from here by walking, Ms Bev Lucraft and her mother are friendly and they did everything they could to look after me.  I recommend to the LAL to choose that host family to the others students because it is a good stay.

Teachers are good at English and they gave me all English I’m looking for and other facilities to succeed.  I’ll recommend other students to take part in LAL.

I’m very grateful for everything here.

I’m very glad of this school and I love this city. First day, I met many new people who are very friendly. I have only one teacher, but in the corridor, I met many other teachers who talked with me and it was nice. My teacher Heilen is very good teacher.

Every time she helps us with everything. My classmates are friendly and with a positive mood. Every other people in LAL are very kind and I’m very grateful for everything here.

I had Intensive English and it was four lovely weeks in LAL School

It could be in Portuguese, but I preferred to challenge myself and write my testimonial in English. I had Intensive English and it was four lovely weeks in LAL School. It was really good for me to interact with teachers and other schoolmates. My host mother, Bev and her mom were the best people that I met in Cape Town. I really felt at home. I will miss our conversation. Bev was a really mother for me . I have to say thanks for that.

The school has a group of great staff, excellent teachers

LAL London is a beautiful English Language school. Firstly, it’s located in a good area where there are amenities and activities. You can spend a wonderful day around the area. The school has a group of great staff, excellent teachers. They are professional and very nice with all of us. The institute organises excellent student activities every day, which helps to create a nice atmosphere with the students. I would definitely recommend LAL to my friends to learn English and to spend a fabulous time here.
