Hi there
Thank you for this letter and for being honest enough to share what’s happened.
It is likely that your teachers were really worried about the boy, especially if he was getting hurt. Teachers have a duty to protect young people and make sure that they are safe and this will be a reason for them needing to take some action.
You don’t say what the fight with the boy was about and I’m wondering how the two of you normally get on. There was also something that stopped you from speaking up when you were asked to give your explanation of what happened and I’m wondering how all this made you feel.
I can see how you have now tried your best to put things right. Well done for writing a letter of apology as that shows you’ve thought about how you could do things differently, if you were in a similar situation.
I can tell that you feel upset because you don’t want to move schools. I’m wondering who you might have talked to about this. If you feel you could speak to an adult who you trust, they might be able to contact someone at the school and see if anything else can be done. If the head teacher is still saying that the move must go ahead, the school governors, who help with the running of the school, could also be contacted to see what they think about it.
One way to talk this through would be to talk to a ChildLine counsellor. You could do this by ringing on 0800 1111 (calls are free) or by having a 1-2-1 chat on-line, which works like msn. A counsellor would be pleased to support you and help you work out what you might do.
Good luck with this and take care,
Sam
