We’ve built a learning environment designed for belonging – a place where learners can breathe, rebuild their confidence, and rediscover their potential. Here, curiosity is encouraged, individuality is celebrated, and respect runs through every interaction.

Why a bully-free classroom culture matters

Online schooling has unlocked extraordinary possibilities, from flexible schedules to personalised learning paths and access to world-class teaching from anywhere. But along with innovation comes responsibility.

Online classrooms, like any learning space, need safeguards to ensure every learner feels protected, valued, and included. That's why Teneo School has made safety, respect, and inclusion non-negotiable. Our online classrooms are designed to nurture both academic growth and emotional well-being, giving parents the reassurance that their child is learning in a truly supportive environment.

Every aspect of our online schooling is built on three guiding principles:

• Kindness: Every interaction, from live online classes to group projects, is guided by empathy and compassion.

• Respect: We celebrate what makes each learner unique. Discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, culture, language, or any other aspect of identity has no place in our community.

• Integrity: When rules are broken, we act swiftly and fairly.

Our zero-tolerance policy is clear: Bullying, teasing, intimidating behaviour, or discrimination of any kind will result in disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion when necessary.

How you can support a bully-free culture at home

Creating a safe space is a partnership between the school, learners, and parents. Here's how you can help:

1. Have open conversations

Ask your learner regularly:

"How are things going in your online classes?"

"Do you feel respected by your classmates and teachers?"

"Have you seen or experienced anything that made you uncomfortable?"

2. Take an active role

Get involved in your child’s digital activities. Take the time to understand the platforms they use and the content they enjoy. More than that, encourage your child to share their online experiences and concerns with you. Open dialogue can help identify issues like cyberbullying or inappropriate content early and help you guide them towards safer online habits.

3. Encourage positive online behaviour

Teach your child about the long-lasting impact of their digital footprint, emphasising that what they share online can be permanent. Discuss the importance of kindness and respect, encouraging them to interact with others online the same way they would face-to-face. Help them understand the consequences of their words and actions in the digital world.

4. Promote digital literacy

Teach your child about the reliability of online information. Encourage them to verify facts with trusted sources and be sceptical of unknown online contacts. Educate them about the dangers of sharing personal information, like their address and personal details, and the risks of interacting with strangers.

5. Empower your child to safely navigate the online world

Enhance your child’s online safety with Social Kids’ online safety training course for learners between ages 5-11, which teaches children how to navigate the digital world responsibly, empowering them to become savvy, safety-conscious digital citizens. Learn more about Social Kids
