WhHAT SHOULD I DO HELP PLEASE

Imagine being a total plonker over an op's (that was incredibly easy to understand) posting style when it's about a kid threatening their GC with a knife 🙄 cringing for those who have done this, you just look very silly.

Op if your DS is waiting for the school/trusting them to call the police I wouldn't. He should definitely call them and go into school tomorrow to discuss how they will keep his DS safe

Spot on.

It's 10 in England, Wales and NI.

Think it's older in Scotland.

Fair enough, you would have to hope that there was a place later when you felt your child could return to the school.
I am not saying its right, I am just explaining how hard it is to PX a child. I sit on PX panels and you would be horrified at some of the behaviour we CAN'T PX for.

When did this happen, OP?

If it was Friday, remember no staff are in school or have access to your son's contact numbers over the weekend.

Staff may not be picking up emails, either.

The best bet is to report the incident, keep DGS off school and call them first thing tomorrow morning to demand a face to face meeting.

You cannot be forced to send DGS in if you have serious concerns for his welfare.

I would then deregister my child until the process was completed as there is no way they would be stepping foot into the same building while the child was there.

It’s aged 10 in England.

Well I hope there is the provision to Home school then and/or pay fines for non attendance because PX ing a Pupil can take months or even more.
And THATS only if all boxes are ticked on a very lengthy and in depth process

11 is the age of criminal responsibility.

They aren’t allowed to give the other child’s name. They would be breaking the law. You don’t need the name to report it.

I would talk to the police directly OP if I were your son. They can investigate.

I think at age 10 the police can be involved and the child can be charged, if you wish you to pursue this.

The school will be reluctant to escalate this as they have failed to safeguard.

Absolutely report to the police. Write an email to state that your grandson will not be returning until the child is permanently excluded.

No it’s not. Your post is mean.

If this was a boy working in isolation then I would have no concerns about sending my child back.

I would report it to the police because although very little will be legally done, the least they can do is speak to the boy and tell him of the consequences.

I worked with SEND kids and a couple of times had the police in to show them how serious some of their behaviour is and if they carried on/did it outside of school then they could get arrested.

Your son and his wife didn’t need to be there for the meeting, as they would have been about the boy.

They can still request a meeting of their own though and in this meeting I’d be asking how they can assure that they can keep your son safe when this boy comes back.

The absolute first thing that needs to be addressed is how a knife was so easily accessible in a school with such young kids.

@WarmDreamer follow this advice, then email the school to say that you need to know how they are going to safeguard your child from further incidents. Just be clear that you're interested in what they will do for your GS, not what they are doing about the other child.

It really isn't.

Everyone is saying how hard it was to read. It really wasn't. What is the point of piling on to say how hard it was to read?

It's simple. Boy goaded, other boy grabbed knife, teacher intervened so no damage done, but clearly distressed. What should they do?

You don't need to know the name of the child. You don't need to know if they are a already known to social services. You don't need to know if they've got behavioural problems. You don't need to know if it's happened before. You don't need to know what their home life is like. You don't need to know their shoe size either. You just need to inform the police.

Rubbish, you are just getting at someone's grammar and writing style. I have read it and understood it as as others.
Bad form to comment like that.

Your son calls 101 says he wants to repirt an attempted assault with a bladed weapon.
He gives his son’s name , the name of the school, the day and approximate time the incident happened.
His home address and phone number too.
Then leave it to the police.

It’s a criminal offence, even if the child is under 10 it has to be investigated.
Im glad your grandson wasn’t injured but must have been terrifying for him.

Do you know that the school haven't called the police, for sure?

The school dont want to involve the police because the knife was made accessible by them.

My son sadly was involved in knife crime, but the school took responsibility and called the police before they called anyone else.

Call the police ASAP. And the father needs to go to the school Monday morning to find out exactly what they are doing to keep yr DG safe.

I think it sounds like she has four grandsons in the school and one has gone to a school with different specialist provisions and one is waiting for the paperwork.

I think she means that the children in this incident are ten.

Her grandson and the boy who tried to attack him must be in Y6.

Presumably there is also a younger child at the same school.

I think people are just being intentionally picky, It is easy enough to follow, but saying that, OP relays all of this information about her son and her grandson (who was the one almost attacked), but then at the end paragraph goes on to say that she has two 10 year old children still at that school??

I find it hard that the school let's these children do whatever they please some run out of school some swear and throw things around which my sons have done in the past one has already changed school and now is in a special school the other is still waiting for paperwork to be looked at by the special school but I will still have 2 chiĺdren at the school and this happened on primary school the children are 10 years old.

Not sure what that's about? or if I am misreading that part?
