Advice re bullying in school...

Ladyofthemanor11 · 21/09/2022 14:58

Just looking for advice re my dd3... She came home from school today upset after the yard. She said dd2s friends were saying "your sister doesn't love you" & "you're a freak".. I have spoken very sternly to dd2 about sticking up for her sister & telling the teacher. Where do I go from here? Do I email the teacher? I've never been in this situation & I am clueless to the protocol. Tia.

Sorry to hear about this, my son went through horrendous bullying.

I would go in and speak to the teacher directly, it’s so sad that child of that age can say some very mean things, no doubt horrible things are being said to them outside of school, but that’s no excuse for them to take it out on your daughter.

I hope it gets sorted 🤗 🌸 🍷

Tell the teacher exactly what happened. Don't ever leave it as then the little shits know they can get away with it. Just state facts, Dd3 reported that x,y,z happened, where it happened and who said what and that Dd3 was upset. Tell them you have spoken to Dd2 about it but would like the school to ensure these children are spoken to about their behaviour.

The school whether primary or secondary will have a published bullying policy on their website which lays out what they do when bullying is reported. Always put it in writing even if you talk to the teacher, still confirm what was said so that there is a paper trail.

Keep a diary now of this event and then if any subsequent event happens you have this to refer back to and email in about. Both my children have had some form of bullying happen to them which has been dealt with by both their primary school and secondary school so that it never happened again. Brilliant response from the schools.

Thanks so much for the replies. Actually posted on aibu too as it gets more traffic. I'm trying to establish here if dd2 was complaining about dd3 being annoying. Dd3 goes over to dd2 for hugs in the yard.
I've spoken to dd2 about sticking up for her sister & told dd3 she needs to play with her own friends & stay with her own class on yard.

I would speak to the teacher about it and hope it was dealt with quickly but please write everything down and if it continues put all complaints in writing, as far as I'm aware, if a complaint is in writing they have to show ofsted and explain how they dealt with it so in my experience are more likely to try and sort it quickly.
