Why has the school gate became a parking war zone?

When the bully is the teacher....

Paul from Strowan

If you are a past pupil, (or the parent of a past pupil), and experienced bullying at school, by your form teacher, please contact us.


We have been battling the school for over a year now, and have recently requested, and received, the help of the Ombudsman.
The Ombudsman is independent of the school, and is the only body that has the authority to force the school to answer the questions that they refuse to answer.


It will come as no surprise to those that have been bullied in the past, that the School Principal and the Board of Trustees, refuse to admit that the bullying took place - presumably as it would hurt their precious reputation.



We are aware that many girls have been bullied by the same teacher, and we need your story, to help support ours. Current students are unwilling to stand up for fear of the impact on their school life. Which is entirely understandable. However, not speaking up allows the bullying to continue.


We are very keen to speak to one girl, that, in the words of a student in the same class, "was hammered" by this teacher for the entire year.
Knowing what we have been thru, it was terribly distressing to hear that this had happened.

If this is you, or you know of someone who was treated in this way, please get in contact with us.


You can remain anonymous if you prefer.

We just need you to outline your story. We are confident it will be similar to ours.



We are just a Mum and a Dad fighting for our child's welfare.
If you can help us please do so.

Thank-you.
