DS was headbutted at school by a boy in his year group (year 5) at lunchtime today. 4 hours later, he's still in pain, has a lump and says he's feeling dizzy and strange. DS told the first aiders at school but said they didn't do anything about it - the boy stayed out for the rest of playtime. Something may have been done about it later, possibly, but at that point it was really minimised to DS.
I want to let his teacher know and don't want to come across as an overprotective parent, but also don't want to let it go as he had to put up with a lot of racist bullying last year (including from the boy who headbutted him today).
How would your child's school deal with this? Would the other child have any consequences? Would both sets of parents be informed?
Would anything else happen?
