School pressurising us to remove DS

[SharksDontBrush]

DS coming to end of YR. Once in spring term and once this term we have spoken to class teacher regarding DS reporting he has been injured/hit by others. He comes home with visible injuries and damaged uniform. DS very mild, gentle child. Class teacher always refers us to Head, so have met with Head too on both occasions we reported it. School refuse to acknowledge anything untoward happens on their premises. We have in the end fingers crossed resolved matters ourselves by speaking to parents of children involved. School now telling us we obviously don't trust the school and pressuring us to move him. Can they do this? Is it lawful? What response can we give? I don't want to accept nothing has happened as I am sure it has and also what if it all flares up again in September?

Govenors and cc Ofsted from me to. I'd also be talking to the faith leaders

A Head I knew used this strategy with parents she considered awkward and difficult. Smiling pleasantly, she would suggest that if they were unhappy with the school she would be happy to arrange a transfer for their child elsewhere. They rarely did.
The fact that the class teacher referred your complaints immediately to the Headteacher speaks volumes, and the request to confirm in writing we have no issues with the school and nothing has gone on suggests there is more to this than you are disclosing.
The school cannot force you to remove your child, but you seem very quickly to have developed a poor relationship and lack of trust:
I don't want to accept nothing has happened as I am sure it has
so it would probably be better for your son that you removed him now so that he may make a fresh start in Year 1 elsewhere.
(and Heads cannot pressurise Governors to resign; they do not appoint them.)

They can't make governor's resign no but they can make them feel uncomfortable and unwelcome .

If the head had asked them to confirm in writing that they would conform to certain standards of behaviour I might agree with you, goblin. But asking to confirm they have no issues or leave if they won't is a bit odd.

It smacks of the sweep everything under the carpet and hope that parents that don't toe the line/ children with SEN leave style of leadership the ex-head of our local outstanding primary used to go for. They aren't the only naice middle class oversubscribed primary I've heard of with this attitude.
