You need to involve the teacher.

Don't let it continue - there is one in our school too. You will just have to be very persistent and keep going back into the school with examples. I don't think it is realistic to expect a timid seven-year-old to stand up for themselves, most simply don't have the skills. Keep telling her it isn't her fault and encourage her to avoid the other girl as much as possible.

As you've already raised this once with the school could you email the teacher and someone else eg. Head so you've got it in writing. They might take more action

Can I suggest some role play at home?

That way some stock phases just slip out naturally!!

'I can play with who I like'

Keep practicing
