Teacher picking on my child HELP what can i do?

[Pinkbump3]

Please the mighty power of mumsnet help me!!!

My 11 yr old daughter is being picked on by her pe teacher,she has had this happen on numerous occasions and today she came home terrified off her!

my dd was sent to first aid office for a band aid by another teacher and the pe teacher stormed into office told my dd what the hell did she think she was doing leaving hher class (she was not in her class yet,

it was her own class teacher who told her to do this before she changed for pe) the pe teacher yelled at my dd and told dd "her feelings for her have Dropped" !!??

and was ranting other things at her like who did she think she was etc. when the school office clerk walked in and saw my daughter in a state and asked what was going on the pe teacher told her to mind her own business and she "didnt know the whole story"!! then stormed out!

Apparently the head techer was not at school but the office called her and told her she wants an investigation into the incident.(i do know other families having problems with this teacher although i cant bring that into it) but the janitor is making a statement as she heard her screaming at my dd from her office and was shocked at the level of her anger and what she was saying to my dd.

I went into the school after my dd came out in a state and told me today and thats how i have found out all of this. the teachers i spoke to are really angry and upset with the treatment of my daughter as am i.

My Q to all of you is what do i do?

What is my childs rights, i know she has the right to feels safe and secure in school which she does not around this teacher.

Will i write a letter? what do i say?

sorry this post is such a mess my head is all over the place im so upset she has been made to feel this way in a place i expected her to feel safe in thanks

I don't know what you are to do, but I am just so upset for you and your DD and too. I would want to go and belt her myself, but of course this is not the correct course of action. How about the Police ? Social Services, it is abuse.

I think its really good you have the support of the members of staff at the school. Good luck and I hope she gets fired !

Thanks I would favour a belting her also lol! its so difficult if the other staff had not heard her i might have just thought my dd was make more of it than it was, im so angry i never speak to my child like that how bloody dare she make her feel that way!

Horrible for your DD.

Good that other teachers are on her side and there are 'witnesses' to support your DD. Because you have the backing of the teachers, I would recommend a meeting with the Head to ask what will be done - let them lead the way. However, if you feel the issue has not been addressed write to the governors. Hopefully it won't then need to go further as it should be dealt with properly.

Ask to see form tutor/ head of year plus head/deputy. Be calm and ask them to look into it- an email would be enough tonight. I would expect to be contacted quickly, within a couple of days. Put in the email when she has pe next and stress that you want a resolution meeting before she attends her next pe class with the teacher.

i would firstly ask to see the HT go above the head of year secondly id tell him i want to make a formal complaint id also write in unison to the schools governors and tell them you want someone to call you asap because your daughter is scared of this teacher and her rights are to feel safe in the school environment quote the child safeguarding rules at them see this link:

all children have right bless her and she doesnt go to school to be bullied by peers or adults , keep her off a couple of days if you need to go to the gp even, i believe whilst under investigation the teacher by law has to be susspended , but also if you can ask around other parents it would be good if they have a complaint if asked at least they allow you to mention names iyswim HTH

I would drop an email

say that you are aware of the situation yesterday and that you understand that x teacher's actions were being thoroughly investigaged and you look forward to an update from them but in the meantime you would like assurances that this will not be repeated and that your dd will be safe within the school environment
