My Child has suffered bullying at school for 3 years solid, the school seem to be reluctant/unable to stop it.
Is anyone else having similar problems, have any ideas on how to deal with a; the bullies, b; the school, c; any further info or tactics you may have used,or are your kids suffering from similar long term in-action?
Hampshire coast school.

Moose I have nothing useful to say I'm afraid - I'm not in a similar experience. But didn't want to read and run. Just wanted to say you are doing the right thing by tackling it now and good luck. Sending you and lots of good wishes

I would have moved my child long before now, to be honest. If the school won't/can't/don't want to deal with it, then it won't improve.

I wouldn't let my child be bullied for 3 yrs solid.

gosh that could do your child a lot of damage. How old is he/ she?
I am shocked that the school wont do something. If it was me then I would go to Ofsted and complain about it to the them and let them investigate the school.
The school have a duty of care to your child while they are in their care. if your child is being bullied then the school are failing in what is required of them. It is really terrible hope you get it stopped asap.

Whilst you are working out what to do re a new school / kicking up a stink with the Governors, etc, can you suggest your child do something, join a club or an activity away from the bulllies so they have a different outlet?

My DH was horribly bullied at school, and found a lot of support and release in a martial arts club - none of his school peers were there, so he didn't have to deal with them around and he could forge new friendships and a new identity away from the nasty buggers whose parents donated a lot to the school and who were never reprimanded. (the joys of being a scholarship boy...)

I too would move schools if I couldn't resolve the situation by speaking to the school. It can be very hard to confront bullies' parents yourself in case their behaviour is also aggressive, but my mum did that for me when I was 10yo and the girl's mum put a stop to her behaviour. If the situation isn't improving then I would look at moving her though - that's no way to spend your childhood years, miserable at school being bullied.
