In reply to Aussie Sue.

yes, school bullying among girls can be especially vicious, and it’s not confined to the state sector. But I believe that first and foremost, it should be firmly dealt with ‘in -house’ ie by the teaching staff.
I’m sure the excellent Katherine Birbalsingh know how to deal with such situations.
And if the parents – usually, I’m afraid, mothers – of other children decide to wade in, they should be firmly told to back off and mind their own business.
when I was governor of a small village school (local authority maintained) there was an enormous amount of gossip and rumour between the (mainly female) staff, and the mothers. This should have been stamped on by the Head teacher and governors, but it wasn’t.
