Glasgow girl, 12, who self harmed after bullying turned down for school placement request

A 12-year-old girl who has self-harmed after being bullied at primary has been refused a request to go to a secondary near her home - while her allocated school is an hours journey away.

The Balornock Primary pupil has endured two years of bullying, which has included girls filming her while she cried. One bully told her she was ugly and tried to pressure her into shaving her eyebrows.

The child from Bishopbriggs suffers from anxiety and wants a fresh start at the nearest academy but has been turned down as the upcoming S1 year is full.
