REVEALED: Shock attacks on Derbyshire PRIMARY school teachers by pupils include headbutting, punching and kicking
The figures show that incidents of violence against teachers by pupils in schools in Derbyshire are on the rise, with 12 reported incidents so far in 2016, compared to ten in the whole of last year and 12 in 2014.
A Freedom of Information request by Derbyshire Times to Derbyshire County Council has revealed that some teachers have been left with lacerations, bruising, sprains, strains and soreness from the attacks.

The statistics relate to schools which come under the control of Derbyshire County Council, meaning attacks which have taken place at academies are not included.
The Derbyshire Times also asked for information on action taken by the schools against the pupils but the county council said it was unable to provide any details.
More reaction to this will follow, including a response from the county council.
