(Your childs name)has kept a log of bullying incidents to prove that this is not a one-off occurrence. He/she is becoming increasingly(effects, e.g. withdrawn, frightened and I am now extremely concerned for my son/daughters well-being. I would like to arrange a meeting with yourself and (Head of Year) as a matter of urgency.
