This is just horrible.  It is difficult enough growing up without having someone make your life miserable.  I don't have any answers for you but I wanted you to know that I'm so sorry this is happening.  I'm sure you will be able to figure out what is the best decision for your family.  It is never easy though.

O.K in the U,K there are protocols to follow to get the LEA to act, if all the steps have been taken and still no joy the LEA will step in. This link may help you to trawl through the process with as little stress as possible. http://www.bullying.co.uk/parents/governorslea.aspx . Do you have a copy of the Schools anti bullying policy, they must have one by law, so make sure you have a copy in your possesion. The Chair of Governors needs to be informed if the school has not taken appropriate action, as does your local councellor. The school has a duty of care to address the bullying to the satisfaction of all parties. Please do look at the link it will give you all the help you need and support. You are not alone in this, though it may seem like it at times.

Luv,Winnie.

I had a similar experience and I found out that the first thing you have to do is find out who your parent governer is and take it to them and put your complaint in writing to the school.  If still nothing is done then you can take it further to your local authority.   I have helped in a school and children constantly squabble and argue but the most important thing is they are not allowed to hit or verbally abuse each other if this is being allowed to happen at your school then they are not doing their job properly.  I wish you luck, I did move my child out of the school in the end and I'm glad I did.  

give ofsted a call and any other governing body, i think this is one of the things they are marked on in the schools aswell as accademic i take it the parents arent approachable but then why should you have to go to them its not your job, i dont want to sound harsh but people have too many human rights that we dont know where any discipline is any more when i was a kid we got a ruler across or back sides or hands no maybe it was harsh but it did the trick... you cantstand a child in the corner any more without being told you are discriminating against them, its all gone anal, alot wont agree with me alot will but when kids realise that is all they are and should start acting like them the better, i really feel for you and hope it gets sorted failing all else threaten to get in contact with the local paper but it depends on whether you would put your child through that if its that bad i certainly would....

Before I continue, I just want to point out that bullying is actually a learned behaviour.  That is, the child who is bullying is learning these behaviours from their parents/guardians, and that the bullying is also a symptom of something not quite right in the home.  I know, not a help when your child is being bullied.

I would be talking with other parents about the issues of bullying and see what they have to say.  Take it up with your Parents and Community group, it is something they should be made aware of too.  I would also be speaking with your child about the attention or reaction they give when they are bullied.  The more they react, the more they will get bullied, so limiting a reaction is important.  So tough for such a young child, but can be of a big help.

Other than that, I really don't know how to help you.  Not at that stage with my own kids, and been a while since I was a bully or the bullied (been on both sides of that fence)

Every school is part of a region that is the responsibilty of a co-ordinator or officer of the education dept. If you are having no luck with the school, then inform the school that you are going to the regional officer of the department and get straight onto them. The schools are actually obligated to report this behaviour to the regional officer anyway, but in many cases don't as it makes them look bad.
