Son being hurt by another child.

[Pam20102014]

Son at primary school is being partnered with another child who I feel is physically bullying him. Throwing objects at him, tripping him up and standing on his back.
I have spoken to the teacher about this previously when it wasn't as serious and they chat to the kids, keep them apart for a while and then it gets forgotten and happens again. Before it was pinching and now it's causing bruises on my son.
What else should I do as talking to the school only seems to work for a short period.
My son is feeling very sad about it, he has lost confidence to talk and tell the teachers when it happens as he says it makes no difference so he is just tolerating it and coming home and telling us at least.
Please let me know if I should be doing anything other than the next step in writing to governors.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

As you have spoken to the teacher I would say write to the Head saying you have discussed it with the teacher but it is still continuing and maybe enclose photos of his bruises.
Poor DS, I hope head instructs the teacher to separate them, if not then governors.

Write to the Head, look at school website for safeguarding policy. If there isn't one (there should be!) find the local council one, & quote it in your letter. Say if an appropriate resolution cannot be found that you will escalate the matter.
The school is failing to keep your child from being deliberately harmed by another. This is failing in their safeguarding policy.
If you have no suitable response, write to the Chair of Governors (if there is one) and also whichever body your school is under, i.e. LEA, council education dept, etc. and share copies of all correspondence with them.
Hope you get the best outcome for your child.

Safeguarding policy. Write to the head as teacher isn't sorting it out.
Write a chronological list of events going back if you can and start taking photographs of bruises - tell the head you're doing this too as evidence

Thank you so much for those replies.
I have been talking photos and have the dates of those etc. I have checked the policy etc online and seeing as I have spoken to the teacher and the head is aware, I have had meetings prior to Covid re this also and as I said it gets better for a short period but then gets forgotten by them. Trouble is it doesn't get forgotten by my son and I am now in a position where I have to take it further. You know when you are so caught up In The situation sometimes you wonder if you can see the wood for the trees so I guess I just needed to have others tell me what I intend to do is the correct path. Angry and upset mum feelings about it can take over but I need to do it by the book to have any chance for his sake.

Read the schools bullying policy and see if they are following it.
