DD made a friends with a group 2 years ago they started obviously excluding her. Going to park then taking photos and putting in group chat etc. Got really awful, they continued depite her telling them her feelings. daughter refused to eat, poor sleep,had high anxiety etc. Rang school, said this group are bullying her and we needed support. They got the girls together with my daughter and asked what was happening girls lied to teacher denied everything. Was told it was friendship issue nothing more they could do. This then escalated bullying her -cyber, physical -trying to trip her over , verbal, laughing, whispering etc. Dd said please dont say anything see how it goes, hoped they would get bored..
.Since DD has made connections with other people. Bully group takes every friend she makes away. Employ new bullies to bully her, newest recruit has started rumors about her and got loads of other girls against her. The lastest friend has now turned on her because the newest recruit has told my daughter said something she hasn't. She now won't go to school, understandably. There is not alot of evidence and dont hold much hope with the school.

Document all the events with dates, who said/did what and your daughter's actions/reactions. Go back to the school in writing. Insist it stop of you'll take it further. Don't give up.

List everything you can with dates.

Send an email to the Deputy Head for pastoral asking for urgent action (you save the head to escalate to if the deputy head does nothing). Request a meeting. After that big email send an email every day that something new happens with dates, names, evidence.

After a month, if it still isn't resolved, turn it into a formal complaint addressed to the head following your school's policy.

But also - what age? Anything physical, you can involve the police.

Finally - start researching a school transfer.
