another child being bullied

[thatsgoodthatsgood]

my dc is telling me about another child being bullied a lot in the playground, day after day, and isolated as other kids don't want to play with them or stick up for them as they are afraid of being bullied. i want to email the head, to let them know. is that the done thing to do, do you know? quick sanity check before I send email.

Yes, tell the headteacher. And encourage your child and their friends to include the child being bullied.

Yes, please speak up.

I've done this in the past, it was on the school bus, reported to deputy head.

Poor kid. Definitely send the email, it's a good thing to do.

Definitely a good thing. My kids, especially my eldest, wouldn't let this slide...she has a firm sense of justice.

Please tell the head , i witnessed similar , older child ,he had a very distinct feature so the head would recognise who i meant .
He was a fantastic head who was very concerned about what i told him , he said he would lookout for child , i am quite certain he did too ,

Thanks everyone, sorry about delay in replying, evening routines got in the way! I sent the email, phew, hope it makes a difference.

@DownWhichOfLate dc is in a different class, and they have cordoned off designated areas to play in because of covid. My dc has been thumped by one of the same group before - before covid. I totally agree with your sentiment though.

Oh - in which case the more emails the headteacher gets the better. Sounds like a large bullying problem. If the head doesn’t do enough please do escalate to the school governors. Well done to your child for noticing and for telling you.

Yes please email the head.

Yes, I would email, I would present it as my DC is upset from witnessing certain behaviour towards a child
