I'll try and keep this short but my son is being bullied and today resulted in two separate attacks, once during break where a student had their hands around his neck then at lunch a student held his arms back whilst another threw a coin at his eye.
My son is not well behaved himself, disruptive and doesn't recognise when things are/are not appropriate which makes him a target for these bullies but also means he's often in trouble and they don't take me seriously when reporting the bullying.
Due to the nature of the attacks today this has been reported to the police who are coming out to interview my son this evening, I have a meeting at the school at 0930 about my sons behaviour but in light of this incident today that will be my focus tomorrow.
I have found another school with space and am looking round on Monday so there is a high chance he is moving regardless of the meeting outcome tomorrow.
What I would like to do is take him to school tomorrow for my meeting at 930 and say he will not be attending school until we've had the meeting and I am assured he will be kept safe, if at the end of the meeting I don't believe sufficient measures are in place, ie all 3 students involved in the attacks are removed and he has a safe place to go then he will be kept home...can I do this without being fined and without knowing for certain the other school is right for him??

Can the school fine me if I keep my son off school?
