Sounds like the rest of the gals have left some good ideas. Please tell Sophie that they really aren't worth spending her time thinking about! She is SO much better than they are. <br /><br />Ask the person who called if they would put it in writing. Call the police, hound the school system. Hopefully you got some help from the family GP. Tell Sophie not to give in. She needs to stand up and fight (hopefully not literally) for herself and all the others like her. Maybe some self defense classes wouldn't be a bad idea! Write it all down, times, dates, places, names. <br />Please let us know how Sophie is doing.<br />Thinking of you, R/Rufushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770378438911571353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715327133646394076.post-51225516554469471722010-03-12T23:21:29.779+00:002010-03-12T23:21:29.779+00:00I really sympathise with you Jude...my kids are st...I really sympathise with you Jude...my kids are still young but i went through it at comp..and it's my biggest fear...tell Sophie she can get through it ...especially with parents like you to support her...even if the school is next to useless...i would most definately take it higher than the head...also if you go on www.direct.gov.uk there is information and advice on support for dealing with this...on a lighter note..thanks for joining us at TG but i truly hope you get this sorted..Debs GDT xDebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08829956100617998667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715327133646394076.post-85739163542461445722010-03-12T14:57:06.523+00:002010-03-12T14:57:06.523+00:00Yes Jude - completely agree with Steff - you need ...Yes Jude - completely agree with Steff - you need to also make a formal complaint to the school also make sure you send a copy to the governors - they have a duty to investigate! It might be worth asking for information re other complaints to the school (my sons school said that we had a right to see other complaints made against the school) - if you put it in writing then you may receive information which could help your case ie there might be other cases of children being bullied and it not being sorted out. <br />If that doesnt work then go to the Local Education Authority and find out if there is anyone there - also call in an educational psychiatrist for a formal assessment of your daughter citing the bullying as the reason - if nothing else it will show the school you are serious!....if still no joy then go to the head of children's services within the council - their remit also includes child safety - dont just sit back - you are absolutely right to make as much fuss as possible. <br />And yes, keep records after records after records - when we had to go into school in primary (it was an independent school) the head had no idea what had been going on because the assistant head had been dealing with it (YEAH RIGHT!) - she was shocked at what had been happening (all low grade but she didnt know about it so it shook her up a bit!) - and she seemed really worried that I had dates and times with information about the bullying logged in my diary. Like really worried! <br /><br />Also, see if you know someone who works for the council generally (a friend or neighbour maybe?) they often know (or can find out) who is the best person to assert pressure on for this.<br /><br />AND dont stop - go to the head of the council, your local councillor and MP if you dont get it stopped - the school HAVE to take this seriously - they cannot fob you off with her being too sensitive as they have to ensure that they offer an inclusive education!<br /><br />Really feel for you and yours<br /><br />RxRuthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653876961227097967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715327133646394076.post-88808484976449066522010-03-12T14:02:18.950+00:002010-03-12T14:02:18.950+00:00jude.... call the police and get it on record. fi...jude.... call the police and get it on record. file a complaint. you need a paper trail for proof of anything.<br /><br />and i am keeping you all in my prayers!!!<br /><br />lovely card, too.Stef Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444258988159287145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715327133646394076.post-44073675647726219072010-03-12T12:12:30.244+00:002010-03-12T12:12:30.244+00:00Oh Jude I can so empathise, I have a break from th...Oh Jude I can so empathise, I have a break from that problem at the mo with Andrew being off post surgery but know exactly the problem. I believe they are all l;ike ostriches burrying their heads as if they acknowledge theres a problem then it might reflect on their prcious school records and the quality of the standard of the school or whatever it is. I know that the response is that if a teacher doesn't see it then it doesn't happen, and even when in one incident with my son a staff member was injured nothing was done.<br />Whilst walking with my son him in his wheelchair some pleb ran up behind him shouting jerronimo and bounced on the wheel chair handles, this bounced my sons chair, fortunately Andrew had heard the cry ,put his breaks on and curled forward so all his weight was forward. The wheelchair bounced sideways and knocked the staff member over and took the tyre off the hub on the chair, my son was beside himself with anger and concern for the staff member, no other staff in sight until he sent one of the on lookers for help.We thought it would actually make something get done , but no, we were told another staff member was stood nearby, but not the first on the scene I might add and story went the boy in questions bag caught on Andrews chair handle as he ran by, nothing was done.<br /><br />I got so fed up I went straight to the head but things don't change, I'm so thankful Andrew is off school at the moment he is such a different person. He wants to go to college next year but it looks like he might have to stay on at sixth form to do the subjects he wants, I just hope the bullies all leave, and that one day he is in a superior position where they either have to ask him for a job or he see's them doing some brainless job while he is there with his expensive clothes and executive style job. No consolation for now though. So hope you get something sorted for Sophie though. Coucil is a good route though as when Andrew was in hospital someone told me there is someone on every council that ensures bullying policies are adhered to so I will use this as my next step. Please let me know how you get on and hugs to Sophie.<br /><br />Love the card too, boys are so hard to make for sometimes.

If it's reached the stage where an external visitor to the school has contacted you, the HT can surely not say that it's not a problem.<br />I hope you get some sort of arrangement with the GP, and that Sophie can start to feel better soon.<br />It really is disgusting that the school should let it get this far.<br /><br />My thoughts are with you all.<br /><br />Esme xxEsmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167425599565929865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715327133646394076.post-15839050743810409192010-03-12T09:20:11.224+00:002010-03-12T09:20:11.224+00:00I think you should go over the HT's head and s...I think you should go over the HT's head and speak to the council officer in charge of schools for your area. They may have a bullying policy which isn't being implemented by your school.<br />Failing that, get the Police involved, especially if it is a gang of them!<br />I had a similar thing going on with my son a year or so ago, but fortunately it has been resolved (for now anyway).<br />I sympathise totally, as that was me X-years ago in Secondary School. Kids can be so spiteful.<br />Have you thought about taking her to self-defense classes?? I did with my boy, he learned Taekwondo for a bit, so he can handle himself in the playground now if it came to using it. (Full permission by instructor!) You might find it helps with her confidence too.<br />Sorry for the long comment, but I just wanted to help somehow hun!<br />Hugs,<br />Teri xxTerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534124503419344204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715327133646394076.post-76338423789909467062010-03-12T08:52:26.273+00:002010-03-12T08:52:26.273+00:00Oh Jude ...

I'm disgusted that the school is doing nothing about this continual bullying of your poor wee girl. I really hope that you can find a solution to this awful situation and soon before something even more awful happens.<br /><br />Luv'n'Stuff<br />Max<br />xxMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394228413205500312noreply@blogger.com
