Bullying in school is a problem for many staff as well as pupils, according to a teachers’ union survey.
The bullies are often other teachers who pick on their staffroom colleagues – with heads and senior staff alleged to be among the worst culprits.
The survey, from the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, says about a quarter of teachers have been bullied by another member of staff.
The union is calling for “robust” policies to tackle such instances.
Teachers report being “driven from their jobs” by bullying head teachers.
