To keep son of school because of bullying

[claw3]

Sorry another bullying thread.

Ds 5.5 started school in January 2009. He has SN's. He has come home almost every day telling me someone has hurt him. He has had his lunch taken from him by an older child who sits on his table 'the buddy scheme' she also went down his pockets and took the silly bits and pieces he had in his pocket. He has been bitten twice. Hit in the face and poked in the ear with a stick, causing cuts to his face and ear to name but a few of the incidents.

Since going back to school in September, he has been poked with a stick making his finger bleed, pushed down the stairs by a boy in year 4, strangled by a boy in year 3 leaving marks on his neck and is basically pinched, punched, pushed etc at every play time. They call him weirdo and shitty pants etc.

Its not just one kid, doing the bullying, it seems everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.

I realised verbally talking to teachers about these incidents was getting me no where, so i complained in writing on the 22nd of this month.

A meeting has been arranged on the 30th of this month, in the meantime the school are doing nothing and just asking me to wait until the 30th.

On Friday as i spoke to the teacher in the playground, my ds approached a girl from his class and tried talking to her, she was grabbing him by his coat, pushing and hitting him. I said to the teacher 'look' and she replied 'oh yes, rough play'!!!!!

I want to keep him off of school until the school assure me they can provide a safe environment?
