Incident at school - come and give me your thoughts.

she said she was mainly relieved that it wasn't true that the head teacher wanted her

She probably hasn't thought about any sinister motives that the girls might have had.

Isn't attempted luring a police matter? Even when done by other students?

They managed to find her class and get her out of the classroom. This is a serious matter and should be addressed ASAP

I am sorry this has happened but what a star your dd is to not be affected by this. I would 100% be mentioning the TAs language though. Not appropriate.

You can make a subject access request (SAR) for anything that they have relating to your child. They will redact the names of any students/staff.

OP, well done in being so sure footed in your actions.

I really find what they did extremely sinister.
It most definitely should involve safe guarding, and taken extremely seriously.

Your child is in the care of the school and children walking about asking other children to leave their classes off their own back is completely unacceptable.

It warrants investigation and reporting to the governing body and Ofsted.

Any efforts to fob you off need to be carefully documented too.

You are correct to follow up with detailed minutes of what was said and agreed.

It might worth checking if the girls were ‘student runners’ which might explain why they were out of class but not why they were pulling pranks whilst they were doing it.
In my Son’s school they have a student runner, one child for the morning and one for the afternoon, different children each day. You have to give your permission and it basically allows your child to be the admin assistant during that time.
They run messages to classrooms, forgotten lunches to pupils, show visitors where they need to be etc
It would be odd for a school to pick a pair though and in my sons school its a privilege to be doing it

Its a shame the TA didn't take them all straight to the Heads office. That would have been the best, immediate action.
I'd want to know what the girls say they were planning and why.

It was quite a sinister thing to do - planned and risky, not just a spontaneous prank. I’d definitely want satisfactory answers.

Could have a sinister reason for example a child in your dd's form has beef with her, over nothing or a boy etc.

Or could have been something social media driven, a dare or prank.

I hope you get to the bottom of it,

It makes you wonder how crappy their safeguarding training would be. Ofsted would have a field day.

Maybe the older girls have a sibling or relative in your dd's class who don'ts like your dd, so they planned this together.

Do not worry about the TA, tell the HOY everything as it played out.
Very creep, I'd feel unsettled.

If nothing else all teachers and supply staff must be made aware of this incident to prevent any future 'kidnappings' of this sort.

OP, I think you're being very sensible here pushing for more accountability from school. I can't believe they'd be ok about two unsupervised students removing a child from class and going off with that child. Hope you hear back very soon.

But - I would try not to panic too much about their intent. I know it feels very sinister but bear in mind that the two older girls, while obviously up to no good, might not have had any plans that were directly to do with your daughter. They may have thought they could use her as 'cover' to do something else, and not have planned any harm to her.

CPOMS stands for Child Protection Online Management System.

I suspect the TA did log the incident, or at least informed someone verbally. Hence the girls have already been spoken to.

You would know it was recorded for one thing and a good school will log the outcome. If you scroll up you will see how I would have written the CPOMS from the TA perspective.
What you would expect is for the head of year or someone to record what happened as a consequence e.g. the two girls were spoken to about their behaviour. They admitted seeing the name on the books that had been left ready for the supply teacher and decided to trick one child into going to the office. I spoke to them about the serious nature of this. They will attend detention on X date. Parents informed.

It's not common to request information but it is absolutely allowed. They will have to blank out names of the girls.

Too true, as evidenced here!

That would indeed be good practice. Sadly, good practice is not universal!

You can ask to see it. The incident is recorded as a safeguarding concern.

Yes, it's a thing, but it's taking round messages, they have no authority to remove students from lessons.

To find out more of what has been logged at school ask to see their CPOMS notes on your daughter. A freedom of information request as such. cPOMS is a system which should have been used to log this incident.

they may need to redact the girls names and that’s fine but the incident should be tagged to your daughters account.

if they continue to sweep it under the carpet, ask for their safeguarding policy (often available on the website and check it’s been followed) inform the you find their response unsatisfactory if they haven’t followed it, and that you will be informing Ofsted, the LEA and governors etc

Yes it is worrying. Where were they taking her, what were they doing and why did they have her name.

I’d expect this to be looked into and an explanation.

Luckily the TA was there so an adult who can evidence what had happened.

Yes they do sound like little shits.

I don't think those girls were going to take her to the office at all. Thank god for that TA - and actually your daughter is very lucky she gave her a warning about the girls being trouble.

I would want to check that your daughter isn't on the same bus home as those girls - I'm sure she isn't, but I'd want that confirmed.
