A report from the NASUWT union found more than nine in 10 of its members have reported an increase in violent and abusive behaviour over the last year.
A teacher reported being left unconscious after being hit with a scooter and kicked in the chest by a pupil, as research from a teaching union highlighted a rise in violent behaviour.
A further 94% reported receiving verbal abuse, including being sworn at, threatened with serious violence, including threats of being shot, and targeted with racial or sexual insults, with 95% saying incidents of verbal abuse had risen in the last 12 months. Top news stories today Teachers also felt senior management did not take appropriate action over incidents, with 31% saying they were dealt with appropriately sometimes, and a quarter saying schools did not take sufficient action. Almost four in five teachers said that the ineffective use of restorative behaviour programmes in their schools was the biggest contributor to a decline in pupil behaviour.
Dr Patrick Roach, NASUWT general secretary, said: “We need concerted action at school and national levels to reduce the incidence of violence, abuse and poor pupil behaviour and restore calm to our schools. A failure to tackle violence and abuse in our schools now will have long-lasting consequences, both in terms of teacher recruitment and retention and in equipping young people with the tools they need to become healthy, happy and successful adults.
