newbie1 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Hi, My nephew goes to a school, he's been getting bullied by two of his supposed friends, they used to be friends but now those two have decided they no longer like my nephew. Their parents seem to not be interested and if anything encourage them more. His mum has spoken to the head teacher and she reckons they don't class my nephew as a 'victim' because he fights back, although he doesn't but he wont stand and take it all the time. Today he's come home from school and said they both had him on the floor during playtime kicking him and hitting him whilst other children were egging them on. Where are the teachers? and why is no one protecting him. My nephew never smiles anymore, is doing quite bad at school now and i feel its all because of this yet the school reckon its his 'home life' which has never changed so they'd be no reason for him to just start acting out. I want this sorting as there in junior school now and are more than likely going to end up in the same senior school and would think as they get older the violence is only going to get more aggressive. So does anyone know who i can contact about this? because the headteacher never takes anything my sister says seriously and when the headteacher speaks to the other children's parents she stands laughing and joking with them. My sister is also trying to move him schools, but has another child and is finding it difficult to get two seperate places in different years. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.
Lucy-Lastic Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 There is a Sheffield schools complaints procedure which I can send you a link to (but don't think I can PM you as you don't have enough posts). I think it is generally if you get no joy with the head teacher, it escalates to the school governors. If it is still not dealt with to your satisfaction then you get the local authority involved. I will try PMing you the link anyway (don't want to do it here as it is a link from my sons school).

School governors or education dept should be your next phone call/letter.

Did you witness the laughing and joking or is this your sisters opinion?I would be very surprised if this actually happened.I am also surprised you are getting involved at first rather than your sister posting her grievances personally.It would seem likely to complicate things and hinder clear communications.
HeadingNorth Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I am also surprised you are getting involved at first rather than your sister posting her grievances personally. Perhaps his sister doesn't have an internet connection. I suspect that if the OP had been aware of the facility, this would have appeared as a "Dear Forum..." post.
Eckolad Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I wouldn't stand for this !! Get down to the school. Lay it on the line to the head. If he doesn't sort thing our then threaten to go to the star........ Seriously though don't let the head fob you off...
newbie1 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 Thank you everyone, i will pass it on to my sister. Gnvqsos- my sister doesn't have internet access and asked me to look for her, i thought i'd write on here to see if anyone has had a similar experiencethat could help. As for the laughing and joking no i haven't but i can't see my sister lying, and the headteacher is horrible anyway as i know my sister and other people that have had run ins with her in the past.
Eckolad Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I'd quite happily go round and sort him out if you cross my palm with silver:)
