A "startling" rise in the number of bullying incidents at Edinburgh schools, which includes more than 500 race-related incidents, has been described by the council as a "mark of success" of changes to the reporting system.
New figures suggested an increase in reported bullying cases of more than 400 per cent across the capital's primary and secondary schools since 2019.
The latest data, presented to the education committee on Tuesday (November 15), showed primary incidents jumping from 157 in 2019/20 to 912 during the year ending in April.
