Bullying in schools

[user1497264527]

I was wondering at what point should a parent consider pulling their child out of a school and switching schools? The bullying hasn't got super bad but I am aware it could and it's that balance between letting it get too bad before pulling them out and it being damaging but also jumping on that option too fast?

What are the other options for you? Is there another school close by that has spaces?

I think pulling your child out would be a very individual decision. Are the school being supportive and taking measures to deal with the bullying? Is your child otherwise happy and settled there with lots of friends?

An unhappy lonely child who is being bullied in a school which is ineffective in dealing bulling would be better of moving. A generally happy child with lots of friends and a bully who is being tackled by the school may be better off staying.
