Son was attacked on his way home from school

[MakesMeFeelSad]

My son was attacked on his way home from school by 5 other pupils last week. Luckily one of the school cleaners was walking past and separated them , took him back into school and school pastoral care brought him home

The school safeguarding team phoned me about an hour later and advised that I phone the police to get an incident number which I did.

Turns out the children filmed it all, by about 7 that night my oldest son managed to get a copy of it which I sent to the police and school.

Police went into the school the next day and interviewed 7 of the I think it's 9 witnesses, I was told this by school Friday, ds hasn't Bern into school since as they've authorised him to stay off due to his injuries.

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this before and if school are likely to take any action themselves with it not being in school grounds

They are year 7s . Thank you

Well I suppose it depends on the parents, children sometimes do stupid things. Especially when there's a group of them . Some of the parents will ge horrified and disappointed and will work with school/police to make sure it doesn't happen again

And for the child who's been attacked at least they can see that something has been done about it and they get some time back in school without those kids being there

Yes I have experience as a parent. My dd was involved in a fracas but on the other end. My dd was suspended for a day and then isolated from lessons for 2 days. She was not involved physically but was part of the cat calling and taunting which then snowballed. I was incredibly ashamed and I apologised to the victims parent personally. The ones involved (slapping on face and then a kicking) was expelled. Our school takes a zero tolerance approach to violence as they should. I'm sorry it has happened to your son.

I hope the parents are horrified and make the time at home unpleasant.
