7 Yr old new and being bullied. Help

[waterrat]

We have just moved cities. My asd 7 year old yesterday poured out a series of terrible descriptions of her playtime. A couple of children she became friends with now bullying her...spending playtime alone and lost.. no adult intervention. Also clear descriptions of poor social skills on her part trying to navigate this. Another child telling her ' we told you stop following us 'when she heartbreakinginly said ' I tried to play near them and hoped they forgot they didn't like me yesterday as I had nobody to play with '

This is a small single form school. Known for being a community orientsred place with caring head.

I have been crying my eyes out. Regretting our move regretting the school. She is too fragile to allow this to go on ir any risk of it carrying on.

She was very happy in last school.

Whatever school say I'm just horrified that in 2 weeks she was allowed to suffer like this after promises of a warm welcome.

Would you be able to keep your child in a school like this ? I am not prepared to tolerate risk for her so I now want to take drastic action

I have a meeting today with senco and form teacher but since arranging it have heard worse stories.

Hugs to you xxx

You are doing the right thing talking to the school. I'm sure they will listen and help her navigate through this xx

Sorry to hear this. Of no improvement is it possible to send her back to her old school in which she enjoyed?

i really hope it goes well.
are there any alternative schools?

Would this put you off a school permanently. There are places in other local schools but obviously more upheaval. I'm considering return to previous city but thst is a huge decision.

Speak to school before making any decisions. School can sometimes be a bit unaware (as they aren't monitoring every interaction) so give them a chance to fix it. Children, especially young ones can sometimes be mean (often without meaning to be as they too are learning social skills!) so this could happen in any number of schools and it's unrealistic to think there's a school where all the children are perfect all the time.
I would judge a school based on their response. If they don't deal with it or take any action then that's the time to move. Be clear and honest with school about what your daughter has told you and your concerns and ask what further interventions they can put in place to support her.

Thanks @rustycarpet you are right I need to be calm and see how the next week changes things for her.

I hope things have improved x
