Hi my son was at a primary school from the start of primary 1 until the end of primary 3. He is now in primary 4 at a new school. When my son started primary at his old school he hated it from the very first day of school. He would refuse point blank to leave the house to go to school we had to carry him kicking and screaming all the way to the school on many occasions. Some days he would walk to school but still had a screaming match with him because he didn't want to go. This went on for the full 3 years my son was at his old primary school. My son kept telling us throughout the 3 years at his old school he was getting bullied of a certain boy the same wee boy all the time. Me and his dad contacted the school on many occasions about this bullying it got to the point I started emailing the head teacher directly about this matter as I felt as a parent I wasn't getting any where going and speaking to them in person so thought If i emailed them this would leave a paper trail and maybe they would do more to help my sons situation. I have countless amount of emails from me and the head teacher about the bullying my son was receiving. The school would promise me they would do this and they would do that but never actually done anything they said they would to help prevent my son being bullyied. For example I was told that my son and this said boy would be put into separate classes from now on to keep them apart but some how they always ended up in the same class as each other even after the teacher promising me they would separate them. Another example the school told me they would stop the boys from playing together at play/lunch time as they had the same group of friends but again this never happened I was told they can only try and encourage the boys not to play together but if they decide they want to they can't do nothing. Ther was even and instance where this said boy tried to s my son with a butter k* in the lunch hall! The school never contacted me about this matter it was my older daughter who was in the lunch hall and witnessed this happening and told me when she came home from school so obviously I contacted the school straight away about this matter as this was now serious! This happened sometime at the end of primary 1 and start if primary 2 I think. Still my son kept getting bullied of this same little boy! As I said before I have countless amount of emails between me and the head teacher about this bullying. This affected my son not only in school but at home also. At school my son was behind on all his work and needed a lot of support in all his work he was behind on almost everything I think. He would pee himself at school on regular occasions. At home he would pee himself regularly aswell to the point where he got referred by the GP to and specialist doctors to see if this was a medical problem or a behavioural problem the specialist confirmed this was not a medical problem. He always seemed really emotional as well. He wouldn't/couldn't sleep was having about 3 hours sleep a night at most. This is still affecting his sleep pattern we are trying hard to get him into a better routine he dose sleep for maybe 5 hours a night now since moving schools. Since my son moved schools since the very first day he has loved it and I mean loved it he actually wants to go will get up in the morning and get ready with no hassle at all and off to school we go! Yes he obviously has morning where he is tired and has a moan about it like all kids do but he gets up and gonlse into school without any hassle. After a few weeks of my son being at his new school I got called into the school for a meeting to discuss the support that was in place for my son. At this meet let me tell you I have never been prouder of my son! This meeting was with his class teacher and the head teacher. They told me that my son was actually a lot further advanced than his old said he was! He was at the same level as most of his peers and because of this they felt my son doesn't need any additional support with his learning the only thing he needs to improve on is his hand writting. And still loves his new school. he even tells the teachers at his new school all about how he was bullyied constantly of the same wee boy at his old school and was scared he even said that's why he wasn't so good at his school work at his old school he was always on edge incase the boy done something to him. I have made a complaint with education and families do you think I done the right thing making a complaint about this ?
