Ds injured in after school extra curricular club, where do we stand?

[Hoolit]

Hi,

DS14 has recently signed up to an after school extra curricular activity (I believe this is provided by an external company on the school grounds).
Whilst taking part he has been injured by another child. He was hurt and sat out for the last 10mins of the class before walking home.
He was clearly hurt when he got in but said he'd be fine and we would go to the doctor in the morning.
We discussed what happened whilst treating his injury with painkillers and ice and I'm not sure the kids had the right equipment/protection for the activity hence the injury.
I did not hear from the school to say he was hurt etc and it's not clear from ds if they've just taken his word he's ok and let him walk home but he was clearly in pain.

I took him to the doc the following morning as he was no better and he ended up in hospital having surgery that night to repair the damage. The prognosis being its likely not to work but we won't be certain for 6 months and that's if there is no issues beforehand which we have been advised could happen. He will then require further surgery.

I called the school the day after his surgery just to advise that he would not be in and briefly explained what had happened and they said they would talk to the external company. I feel like I should be taking this further as I don't really understand what has happened and how and if it was preventable and they had taken the appropriate action or supervised the activity properly? It does sound like an accident but had he been wearing protection this would not have happened.
Do you think I should approach the school again? I've only spoken to the office staff or the company providing the activity? Plus I only called on Friday so I may be jumping the gun!

Any guidance appreciated.

No I'm not 100% sure otto I am thinking just one of those things but I do want all the info, this could affect ds in the future.
Ds has said he was one of the few listening but it's not clear exactly what lead to the incident, he's not wanting to lay any blame on anyone. Think I will just have to wait and ask the school to look into it and see if we get a clear era picture.

If the school has merely rented out their space to an outside organisation, then it has nothing to do with the school. It is the organisation responsible for the activity who you need to talk to.

It sounds like someone was mucking around and caused an injury. If they were told no contact and the child did it anyway, then that is misbehaviour, not negligence.

If he was kicked in the groin, a boy his age would very likely be shy and sensitive about it, and pretend to be fine out of sheer embarrassment. The club people should have been sensitive to that imo.
