So my daughter is in year 3 and had a bullying issue 6 months ago where it got physical she was being kicked and pushed and then they started the race card in this bullying . We did the usual telling the teachers and she telling the middays but as usual no one never saw anything. Anyway I thought this issue was sorted as we had to have a meeting with the head teacher who we thought had sorted it . But about 2 months later it started again this time calling her a fucking bitch in class . Kicking her . It got physical two weeks before half term where the bully went behind her when she was sitting down and pulled her head back and slapped her in the face . The bully got sent home after that but nothing from the school about what they going to do about it nothing . I called them up the day after and emailed and they still haven’t emailed me back . I’m thinking of moving her as I feel they don’t care .

No not overreacting, that's appalling. Definitely push for more contact from the school (go in person maybe) and ask them how they are going to keep your dd safe. If their response isn't satisfactory then you can escalate to the Governors if you feel it's worth it, but you'd also be justified in changing schools. Good luck.

Call and make an appointment with the head and her main teacher. Keep calling. Is there a board of governors? Cc them in any email.

Absolutely not over reacting! Y3?! The school sounds as rough as toast! I’d be calling for a meeting with the Head and contacting governors if no response. Are they part of a wider trust? I’d be downloading their bullying policy too. Your poor child is being abused and I wouldn’t send them back in until you have a response.

Get the schools bullying policy and make sure they're following it. Look at the safeguarding too and see what they'll put in place - good luck !

Bloody hell. Your poor dd.

I would be like a dripping tap. Calm, constant, steady with my enquiries and highlighting my concerns at every necessary opportunity.

And I would look into moving her.

Just appalling.

we decided to move her as she’s scared to go back after half term I’ve put the paperwork in and applied hopefully we get moved before she has to go back as she has severe anxiety of going back . Even if I change schools I’m thinking of writing to the trust of the school and outlining this behaviour and my feelings towards how it was handled can I still
