How to deal with bullying

My dd (6) has been complaining about a certain girl in her class for a while. It’s been very non specific but we’ve seen the teacher a few times in response to this. I’ve always listened to her and said we support her. Over Christmas she was distraught about going back and when I spoke to her it was clear that she was being blocked from
Playing with other kids and is deeply unhappy. I went to see the school who initially dismissed my concerns but I set up a formal meeting with the head and she appeared to take it more seriously. But the plans don’t seem to be working and they somehow don’t get it. I’ve never been able to get an accurate picture of what’s happening- partly due to my daughters age. However this weekend I witnessed the bullying at a party. Now I see what she’s going through daily. I’m clearly not allowing this to continue. Any advice on what to do next?!

OP this sounds awful. I would speak to the class teacher again and be very specific about what you have witnessed. Ask for the anti-bullying policy and ask them how they will tackle things. If it is one child blocking your dd from playing then teachers and playtime staff need to be aware of it and sanctioning the child, while also explaining that it is unknd. My dc teacher always had the rule that in group games they are not allowed to leave one person out.
