Son worries about school

Hi everyone, really hope someone can help. My son is 6, yesterday at school he missed out on 'golden time' (half when they do something special) because he hit a child. My son is very honest, I can always trust him to tell ma and his teachers the truth no matter what has happened and when I asked him who he hit he gave me a name of a child who had hit him the day before.
Now my son always played with this boy until we notices that his behaviour was getting worse and he told us this child was makin him do horrible things to other friends.
My son always tries to remove him self from this child but he is constantly followed by him. I've seen it myself when my son is playing other friends, he is pulled away by this boy. His teacher last year spotted this but didn't really help, now his new teacher has spotted it and called us in for a meeting tomorrow. He said that when my son is with ther friends in class his behaviour is lovely and he works really hard. Then it goes wrong when the other child distracts him.
I know my son can be a handful but he is never violent to us or other friends and all other mums say how well behaved and polite he is.
Sorry to go on a bit. Just a bit worried what will
Happen to my son and what we should.

My son is 9 and has had a similiar issue with a boy all through primary. The other child had no social skills and finds it difficult to make friends, took a liking to my son and decided to stick to him like glue. He is suffocating and won't take no for an answer. We tried to direct my son on how to deal with him but at the end of last term he came home in tears, saying this boy was constantly low level bullying him, not letting him play with others, telling him is is rubbish, pushing him around, being sarcastic and rude to him, so school had to get a lot more involved, split them up as much as possible.

My tip is to deal with it now, ask for them not to be together on tables anymore than they have to, ask playground staff to be mindful and keep an eye out and guide your ds as best you can. The way I look at it is that there is always a kid like this or an adult for that matter! and if you can teach them to walk away and make the right decision now then its a lesson for life.
