Really upset by DS behaviour

NC for this as don't want it to relate to other threads about my DC.

I have a 5 year old DS in reception. Whenever he is at school he is the worst mood when he gets home. Think, throwing clothes refusing to get dressed. Screaming shouting hitting kicking. It's really exhausting and upsetting. But the most upsetting part for me is everyday I go to pick him up from school he refuses to come with me. I see all the other kids running into their mothers arms. And my DS gets very angry almost tearful when he sees me and punches me saying he doesn't want me he wants his daddy.

This is obviously very embarrassing in front of the other parents. I do not react to the behaviour whatsoever. And when he's home give him a lot of love and patience because I know he is tired.
But how do I get him to stop this? Why is he doing this?

It's making me feel like such a failure as a parent.

you're not alone OP.

Its exhausting isn't it and constantly makes you feel like a failure or that you're doing something wrong.

I have DD5 late summer baby so is now y1. She is exactly the same!!
