Findings on bullying from the Parent, Pupil and Learner Voice survey (DfE and Anti-Bullying Alliance)

# data[].attributes.body
The October 2025 wave of the Department for Education’s Parent, Pupil and Learner Voice survey gathered responses from parents and pupils in England between 4 October and 10 November 2025. The survey included responses from 1,505 parents of primary school pupils, 1,791 parents of secondary school pupils, 857 parents of pupils in special schools, and 3,531 pupils in years 7 to 11. The survey asked pupils about their experiences of bullying in the previous 12 months and asked parents whether their child had experienced bullying in the same period. Bullying included both bullying by pupils at school and bullying by others, and could include online or in person bullying.

The survey indicates that bullying continues to be experienced by a notable proportion of pupils. Around one quarter of key stage 3 pupils and around one sixth of key stage 4 pupils reported being bullied in the previous year. A similar proportion of parents also reported that their child had experienced bullying during that period.

Dealing with bullies is really no fun, and it can be hard to know what to do when someone bullies a friend. You don’t have to be a superhero to support a friend who is being bullied. Just being an upstander can go a long way. An upstander is someone who stands up for others when they see bullying happening.

Belonging Matters is a new whole-school programme helping schools create safer, more inclusive cultures — where all pupils feel they belong. When children feel seen, valued and included, they’re less likely to experience bullying and more likely to thrive.

This summary interim report captures early learning from 11 schools across London, showing how belonging can be strengthened through practical actions — from staff training to pupil voice, policy change to inclusive routines.

Belonging sits at the heart of prevention. These early insights offer real examples of what schools can do — and how it’s already making a difference.

Easy Read: How schools should deal with bullying (Learning Disability Wales and the Welsh Government)

Learning Disability Wales worked with the Welsh Government to make an Easy Read version of their new guide for schools about bullying.

The guide explains what bullying is, how schools should deal with it, and what support is available.

It covers different types of bullying, including online bullying. It also explains how to spot the signs of bullying.

The guide tells schools how they should support children and young people who are affected by bullying. It sets out how schools should record bullying and what to do if bullying isn’t being dealt with properly.

** Please note: As this guide is for Welsh schools, the helpline number and consultation would not be appropriate for schools in England - however, the information provided in the guide may be helpful and the majority of websites listed at the end are national organisations which are appropriate for all schools**
