    Parents at a Wellington primary school have taken allegations of severe bullying to the Education Minister

    Parents at a Wellington primary school have taken allegations of severe bullying to the Education Minister


    Parents at St Benedict's School allege there's bullying between children at the school, including claims a student was hit over the head during after-school care.

    One parent says she feels the school's senior leadership showed a lack of ownership and follow-through for physical and mental bullying.

    The school board says it takes its responsibilities around wellbeing and safety seriously.

    Erica Stanford says she's sought further information from the Ministry of Education.
