Someof you may know ds1's behaviour has deteriorated badly lately, also that on Friday he was sent home with a note in his home-school book saying he attacked around a dozen kids on friday (!).
Well today ahs put a new shine on all that......
After a bad weekend, he was very reluctant to get dressed and go to school today- I was a little suspicious, especially as I noticed him cower (most unlike him) when the Head walked past on friday. I also noticed that he ahd not changed his undies all weekend and has been very reluctant (more so than usual) to change near me, so i took him into the kitchen and amde him strip.
He is covered in bruises, some up to 5 inches, each one he can account for!
the srory from ds1's perspective is that the child who always is ivolved and should be kept aprt from ds1 got up a gang to attack him 9this does seem likely- ds2 witnessed similar when they were in the same school)- the dozen kids. They pinned ds1 down and kicked him repeatedly, this is abcked up by the bruising and seriosuly scared child, and the behaviours.
he is supposed to have 1-1 at lunchtimes, but as he was being good thre rest of the week they pulled it (it ws outiside the amount specified in his statement- he ahs that in terms of study support atm).
DS1's version makes a lot more sense- he has been very good in the alst few weeks about taking time out in the library when needed in breaks.
Not only am I at the point where I feel he's now not safe at school- he is asking to change schools . he loved this school at first.
I snet him in with a complaint in his home - school book but usually no response is receicved. What do i do now? Call the SN dept at the LeA or kidscape / NAS for advice?
particualrly p'd off as one of these kids (the one who inflicted the biggest bruise) was the one whose Mum complained about ds1 being in the school!
