hi i am really confused about this situation that happened this morning.
My DS is in yr 3, in a uk school. Over the last 3 years he has experienced verbal and physical abuse. Each time i have reported to the teacher or the head
He is a very quiet child and reluctant to report incidents to the teachers, over time we have encouraged him to tell and we have had some success with this, however yesterday we had an incident where he was punched in the stomach, i reported the incidents as i was told them by him after school.
Today at drop of i met the head and teacher of his class and had a chat. The head is very dismissive of my concerns and believes that most of the incidents are made up, in fact today going as far as telling him how the head believes the incident happened i.e. so X accidentally hit you on the head YES? My son just sat there mute and looked at the floor, she continued on X is your friend and it was just an accident, you know you shouldn,t lie it upsets mummy and daddy. I was furious but let her continue till she had finished and then said i did not agree and was still unhappy. The head then accused me of calling the teacher a liar.
I don,t believe any child should be told to their face that they are a liar by the head teacher, especially when they have very little confidence to start with to report bullying. My DS has physical difficulties and SEN, which they are aware of and now believes he is in the wrong for telling me.
I have no idea how to continue with this school now, short of removing him from the school which has been on the cards since xmas or am i over reacting?
Has anybody else had experiences of school being difficult?
