he started yr7 in september and to date has

had p.e kit stolen (2nd day there)
been punched in stomach
followed and punched in stomach at bus stop
shoved over in class hitting his face on metal stool
shoved over on the stairs banging his nose and hurting his stomach
had his bag cut
had his shirt swapped for an old one during his p.e lesson
had lunch money stolen

everyday he is being poked, prodded and dug at.

he has been off school 2 days now because he is so hurt by all of this. I spoke to his school AGAIN today and they have said they will send him work home while they investigate the situation.... we have been waiting since second day there for them to deal with the theft of his p.e kit and the child following him and hitting him. I informed them today of the incident on friday where he was pushed over on stairs and was met with the answer
"OH we are well aware of the amount of children who are shoved over on those stairs" errrr then why is there not a member of staff there between lessons??

Anyway I need to find him a new school he is suffering badly and I am not prepared to put up with it any longer.

I live in Peckham, and really need some help.!

I'm afraid I have no useful advice, LES, but hugs and good luck to you both.

LES - Have you contacted Kidscape yet? They can be helpful and may even have an idea of a school that's good on anti-bullying in your area.

I'm not good on that area, in terms of schools. Is your ds at all academic? What band was he in?

I wouldn't either! He should be enjoying himself, making new friends, new experiences etc.. It's so sad that such a milestone in his life is being ruined like this What are the alternatives in your area?

Oh FFS that is disgusting!! Your poor DS, I'm nowhere near you so can't help, but my DS just started yr 7 too and I would be devastated if he was having such a hard time
