Low level bullying/unkindness year 7

[Thingsthatgo]

My DS can be a bit of a target for unkindness. He has ASD traits and isn't bothered by fitting in to social norms. He is generally happy, kind and pretty nerdy, he is academically top of his year and he is very confident with great self esteem.
He has a gang of mates who are all lovely.
At school there is quite a lot of banter which spills over into unkindness, remarks about his physical appearance or his geekiness. They don't seem to bother him too much, but he does tell me about them and it happens all the time.
Would you do anything? I don't want to make it worse, and I can't imagine that the teachers can do much anyway.
('Stop telling Alex that his ears stick out'! They are a bit old for that).
Any words of advice?

I'm glad that happened. Schools do have benchmarks and have a mandatory requirement to deal with these issues.
Training for staff has markedly improved and all schools have a process which has to be documented.
OP, do let us know how this progresses, and good luck 🤞

We've experienced this at a private school in Surrey recently. Also Year 7 boys.

I and other parents have been shocked at how little the school has done to remedy the situation.

We finally grouped together to make a complaint and now something has happened but we've been shocked at how out of touch and laissez faire the approach has been.

I hope you see a better resolution than we have OP.
