My DS2 who is in reception, was bullied for the majority of the first term. Nobody knew until it all came out in a sort of breakdown, we were horrified but the school dealt with it effectively and he settled down. He is now being bullied again by two different boys. I don't use the term lightly, his behaviour changes so dramatically at home that I know something is wrong and eventually he tells me. He has the usual large bruises and a horrible injury to his ear, it looks as it if someone tried to pull it off - grazed, bleeding, purple and red behind it. I have seen the two boys behaving menacingly towards him and I believe him.
This all happens at lunchtime, the school is known for having poor lunchtime supervision. Otherwise it is good and he is happy in lessons and with his friends.
My husband wants him to change schools which I don't disagree with but I want to be sure it is the right thing. DS2 is very sensitive and we try and work to make him cope as well.
My problem is that DS1 who is being assessed for ASD, is very happy in this school, he is in YR2. His class is lovely and it is hard for him to settle, he finds change difficult.
I feel as if I have to choose only one of them to be happy. I also don't want to keep moving them so I want to get this right. Any advice or similar experience greatly appreciated. Thank you.
