How do you deal with your child being hurt constantly at school?

[kid]

DS keeps coming home from school with cuts, marks and bruises. I know he is getting them from one particular child, (he has told me and so has the class teacher) and tbh, I am sick and tired of it. I want the school to do something about it. Do you think that is a reasonable request? I'm sure it is but I just don't know what they can do. They are both in Reception and the school are aware there is a problem with the other childs behaviour, but how serious are they waiting for it to get? DS is not the only child that gets hurt, but obviously its up to the other parents to do something about thier own child.
Any helpful suggestions or has anyone been through this?

Hopefully its been sorted out now. I am pleased that at least its been acknowledged, now I would like to see the school keeping their word and working to resolve the problem.

Hi Kid,

Haven't time to read all posts so sorry if I repeat what anyone else has said but had to reply to your post. I had this same thing with my son and YES record every incident big or small and report it in a letter to your Head Teacher. Our school did not respond to verbal complaints either but acted like greased lightening to letters, they have to as it's all on record. You're doing the right thing, stick at it. Your son should be able to get on with his school day without being hurt. Good luck. Let us know the outcome please.
