DD attends a large two form entry primary school. She is currently in Y1.
At the end of the reception year, they mixed both classes. DD had been having an issue with 1 girl who was hitting her on a daily basis, swearing at her and threatening her. We asked that DD was separated. This happened. We've had a few incidents this term, which involved DD being deliberately tripped (witnessed by others) and she fell and hit her head. We went to the school and outlined all of our concerns and it turned out the reception year info had not been passed on.
Fast forward and DD's other little friend who is in the same class as the girl doing the hitting, is now doing exactly the same to another girl. Last week DD hit her head again. All the school seem to be doing is having a "chat" with this girl, but nothing is changing and our daughters are being hurt on a daily basis.
We have escalated and they just say that they are dealing with it, but this does not translate into any improvement. The girls are all 5.
What are our next steps
