Bullying has got out of hand at my sons CofE school and it is rife. Groups and individuals in each year group isolating, verbally bullying and physically hurting others. The head takes a softy softly approach using mediation and such (occasionally works). He will not involve bullies parents, he will not discipline the bullies for bullying incidents and he often redirects the problem back at the victim (usually a very nice boy/girl). The head is very patient and tolerant of bullying (and bad behavior generally) but is surrounded by 200 primary students who urgently need solid boundaries.
What can I do to change things? Who can I involve? Is the Head a law unto himself?
I really don't want to keep my children at a school where bullying isn't really dealt with.
