Ds was punched in the stomach yesterday whilst waiting to go in class. From what I understand a boy took his tie and threw it, as my ds went to pick it up another boy punched him in the stomach. It must've been with some force as my ds banged his head as he fell.
The teacher witnessed it and asked my ds if he was ok, he said he was. The teacher gave the boy a detention.
I only discovered this through another child in ds' form telling me. Ds is quite chilled and doesn't make a fuss, sometimes when i think he should. It was a one off incident - he's not been bothered by these kids before so I don't think its a bullying thing - at the moment, i've told him to tell me if anyone bothers him.
Ds feels its been dealt with by the school as do I. However, should the school not have let me know about the incident? Or as he said he was ok and didn't go to the medical room do they not have an obligation to. I would have thought they should, particularly as he banged his head - though the teacher may not have seen that.
Would you speak to the school? If so, do you go through the form tutor?
