Hi All, Need your help.We moved to UK couple of months back and enrolled our daughter in an independent school here. A few weeks into the school, my daughter was bullied by fellow students and also witnessed racist comments. Obviously, my teenage DD was extremely upset and become a loner. I did highlight this to the school, but the school stated they can only do anything about it if we name the girls who were involved. My DD was extremely petrified to name the girls since she felt they would trouble her more. The school did not bother to call us, nor did it provide my daughter counselling to get out of this incident post their 1 mail asking for the girls' names. There was also security issues in the school, and my daughter was left stranded in the school by the transport number of times since the activities teacher did not inform the transport team that the activity was cancelled for that specific day. At one instance, my daughter was untraceable after her activities club post school - which the school managed - we tried calling the teachers, school, activity coach but none of them responded. In fact the activities club receptionist told us my daughter was not there, while she was all the time there in the club in the basement practicing. Horrified, we did then got in touch with police helpline. Thankfully, by then, my daughter called, and we got her back home. After witnessing the above, we withdrew her from the school since the school was not bothered, nor concerned for the well being of my daughter. I informed the school in July that we are withdrawing her from the school. The school is now following up with us for their terms notice fee around 10K for the same. We had a really bad experience with the school, and it took months for my daughter to come out of this trauma. We understand this as per contract, but it seems extremely unfair that you are tortured and then expected to pay for the torture. Please advise since we are too new to this and not sure how to take this ahead.
