My ds moved up to a new school in Sept & has reaaly struggled to settle in.
He started there a happy, confident, funny little boy & now he is just bloody miserable.
He has constantly complained of name calling, there has been incidents where he has been phycisally attacked on teh way home, hit, pushed & knocked over in school.
Friends have also told me that their children have told them that he is always teased, takes so much losses his temper & cries or shouts,swears back at them & they then hit him or torment him further.
I have been up to the school on numerous occasions, each incident is treated as an individual incident. The head doesn't accept that ther is a problem he says it is "perceived"
If it is perceived I ahve also asked the school to help ds deal with name calling, us just telling him to toughen up simply is not enough.
The only other school that I could transfer him to is closing next year & will merge with his current school so I'm not sure moving schools is an option.
What should I be demanding of the school, I'm happy to work with them, I'm happy for tehm to doi whatever it takes with ds to help him but so far all they do each time there is an incident is "talk" to the others involved, maybe a detention or removal of priveledges. Its just not working
I've asked the school if ds's behaviour is the cause. They say no.
They tell me he is well behaved & a delight in lessons.
DS is now seen as an easy target for everyone to make fun of & TBH the only time he is happy & like his old self is weekends & holidays.
I just don't know what to do next.
