Luckily I've pulled my DD out of this school, she's made some disclosures and I'm wondering whether to report this higher up maybe ofsted . The school don't seem to give a shit. The boys have been making fingering gestures at the girls , and asking the girls to taste their cream, they also shout 69 and one boy asked to touch my DD. I've asked DD does she know what it means and she said yes.

I'm wondering what is normal behaviour in year 5, I don't remember anything like this when I was growing up. It sounds vile my poor dd has had her innocence taken away. 😢

Clearly this is really bothering you, as it’s the third or fourth thread you’ve started on the same topic today.

I’d advise you to contact the safeguarding governor of the school she has just left, explain your concerns. They have a legal duty to deal with such reports.

Then get her into her new school, straight away. Not faffing around with half days or sessions. Let her settle in before the holiday. That way they can fully assess the additional learning needs you think she may have well ahead of year 6.

All of that is totally inappropriate partly because of the age of the children, but also because it is sexual harassment and is inappropriate at any age.

a few boys at my school were very like that from year 5, it was otherwise a good school and I think the lads must have had older brothers they were picking things up for. I / we never mentioned it to parents though, so it never got picked up. if you've raised it with them then I would expect a school to have a talk with the children about it.
