Yr 3 bullying

[Tirednorthern78]

After some advice. My child is in year 4. Last year, another child informed my dc that family would be better of if they were dead, dc doesn’t belong, doesn’t fit in.

Dc has a good group of friends who I’m happy with. Several play dates, party invites etc. Dc is quite bright but not so good at sporty type activities. Very sensitive.

Took a year to get DC to fell confident in themselves.

Start of yr4, and so far this child has told my dc that they were gonna kill them. I’ve reported this to school and was brushed under the carpet. My child has since been asked to poison another child, and when I’ve reported this, the child has gotten into trouble and now they’re going to execute my dc.

This behaviour is worrying me. I’ve got little faith at the moment in school to deal with it. I don’t believe the parents are approachable. Short of moving my DC I don’t know what to do

Sorry to hear your child is experiencing this, it sounds horrific. Are there no lunchtime supervisors able to keep an eye on this in the playground?

You could continue to complain to the school and escalate the issue to the governors, etc. but that will take a long time. My feeling would be that moving your dc to another school would be better.

If you don't get any joy speaking to the teacher, follow the school's complaints procedure & also speak to your MP, sometimes an MP 's letter can make them jump. You can do an online review to Ofsted which covers things like bullying.

The above advice is good but it takes a long time to go through these channels. If the school is bad at dealing with things then I would say to move schools quickly.
