AIBU to complain to school?

[FruitCider]

My child is in reception. I picked them up from school today, put them in the car and noticed blood in their Hair. On questioning my child it appears my child was running in the playground and banged heads with another child “then it blooded”. The cut is minor and has obviously stopped bleeding, but I’m just a bit alarmed that the teacher didn’t tell me about the accident! Am I being a bit PFB about wanting to make a complaint?

What makes you think the teacher was aware?

My child said she told the dinner lady and was taken to the “bump room” so I would have expected a bump note. Sorry I forgot to put that bit in.

For a head injury, I would expect a letter or notification, however minor. Particularly if she went to the medical room.

I remember the 'you're child banged their head, please watch out for signs of concussion" letters from school!

At my kids' school they have bumped head stickers...maybe she/he had one and it fell off?

*Crock that is what I would have expected to happen, I assumed I would get informed about head bumps.

I'd definitely question it. I've had a few "you're child bumped their head today and received such & such treatment" home from school with DD.

Your child. Bloody grammar

When I used to work a school it was always a sticker on the child, a letter Home and a phone call for a bumped head that is not everything.

At my school the little ones get accident stickers on their tops. Maybe it fell off? Has she had an accident there before?

I would definitely expect them to tell you about it, whether that be a sticker / text.

I mean has she had an accident before and so you know what usually happens?

I don't think you necessarily need to make a complaint, but I'd mention it and ask why there was no note.

My dc gets a little paper wristband with ‘I’ve bumped my head’ on it. Could they have had something like that which came off?

I’ve seen other kids in my child’s class coming out with green “bump slips”.

Call up and ask, don't complain.

They may well have been given a bump slip and put it somewhere.

If it turns out they haven't then school will apologise and sort it. If they have given one them you can remind your DC to bring it home.

Some people will turn up here and say complain and ask for a meeting with the head etc. Ignore them. They are probably 'those parents' and being unreasonable and confrontational is exactly how people get reputations in schools of being PITA.

We get a “head bump” letter. States when and where on the head (as half the time there is nothing to see.)

Ds came home with a bump note today. I would have thought she'd get one especially if there's blood. I work in a school too and they get notes too as well as stickers. My friend's son's school does stickers. I'd expect some acknowledgement of a bump. I'd call and ask why there's not one.
