he started yr7 in september and to date has

had p.e kit stolen (2nd day there)
been punched in stomach
followed and punched in stomach at bus stop
shoved over in class hitting his face on metal stool
shoved over on the stairs banging his nose and hurting his stomach
had his bag cut
had his shirt swapped for an old one during his p.e lesson
had lunch money stolen

everyday he is being poked, prodded and dug at.

he has been off school 2 days now because he is so hurt by all of this. I spoke to his school AGAIN today and they have said they will send him work home while they investigate the situation.... we have been waiting since second day there for them to deal with the theft of his p.e kit and the child following him and hitting him. I informed them today of the incident on friday where he was pushed over on stairs and was met with the answer
"OH we are well aware of the amount of children who are shoved over on those stairs" errrr then why is there not a member of staff there between lessons??

Anyway I need to find him a new school he is suffering badly and I am not prepared to put up with it any longer.

I live in Peckham, and really need some help.!

I know of a yr 8 child that travels over to DD's school in Richmond every day for school from Peckham. It doesn't take as long as you would think...might be worth a shot

I am very sorry to hear of your son's problems. Have you tried Dulwich College - according to friends with a son there, they have a lot of bursaries, far more than Alleyns apparently. It is of course a very tricky time of year to ask but nothing ventured, nothing gained! Good luck!

PS: I would not copy the schools' replies on to this forum. I can't quite put it into words but I imagine that it would not sit too well with the school concerned.
