Haven't really had the chance to speak to them, as I've been at the hospital since 3.45pm on Monday. I did send them an e-mail while I nipped home to pack an overnight bag for him to let them know he won't be in school and got the following reply this afternoon -

Thank you for your email. I have spoken to the staff who attended Daryl and have confirmed that Daryl's injury was the result of "horseplay" by another student. I have been informed by the first-aider who saw Daryl that she did not detect any signs that would indicate a fracture.

Obviously, I apologise on behalf of the student who caused the injury and I have excluded the individual and will arrange to meet his mother in the near future.

I have yet to speak to other members of staff who I believe may have been involved with the incident and will let you know if any further information comes to light.

Yours sincerely

B T Burke
Headteacher

He couldn't move his arm, was crying in pain, as soon as I saw it I knew it was broken, you could actually feel the bones protruding on the underside of his wrist! His form teacher rang me and left a message this morning asking how he was, I'll be speaking to them tomorrow after a good nights sleep and hope that I've calmed down a bit before then!
