What would you do about this child?

A boy in DS class is very unkind. He is physically violent to his class mates and very disruptive. I have seen his mum at school and parties and she doesn't really parent too well. I am sure she is trying her best but she is so lenient and it is now effecting others. The class just started in yr one and according to my son, the only other person he has is also a "bully". DS tells people that this child bullies him. I don't actually think he is targeting my son. He is just a very unpleasant child who receives no consequences. He treats everyone just as badly.
I raised this at parents evening last Easter and it was brushed off by the teacher. Every day since school returned I have asked DS how his day was and it is always dependant on this kids behaviour. "it was a good day X was nice today", "It was horrible X pushed/tripped/said ABC". It dominates his school days entirely and is upsetting him at home. He says he doesn't want to go some days because of him. He sometimes says he feels sorry for him because he has no friends. He is almost always one of the things told to his worry dolls each night.

I want to raise it at school but am not sure there is any point? they have the same teacher as last year so she knows exactly what he is like so if they are going to do anything about his behaviour, they probably already are. We usually have a parents evening around Halloween time. Given the last reaction, would you wait until then when the time is designated for you or try to talk after school? OR say nothing?

Go straight to the head and if no joy, to the governors.

This has to stop

Thank you.
I was worried I was overreacting as he isn’t targeting anyone. He is still causing upset thought and DS loves to learn stuff I would hate for that love of learning to disappear because of one thoughtless person.

There must be reasons for the boys disruptive /violent behavior it is part of the schools responsibility to intervene as this may have underlying reasons. Your son should not have his day to day happiness reliant on someone's mood. This situation could escalate and probably wont improve without school staff involvement.

Record specific incidents that directly involve your son. And your son only.
Speak to the school. Ask how they will safeguard your child.
