An infants' school teaching assistant left on crutches after she was beaten up by a five-year-old has won a £140,000 compensation payout after suing her bosses.
Aleksandra Aukett, 44, was traumatised and suffered multiple soft tissue injuries when "punched, pinched and kicked" by the "big for his age" reception class child in 2017 while trying to keep order.
Ms Aukett, who stepped up to the witness box at Central London County Court using crutches, says she has been left with "life-changing" chronic pain and has not returned to work due to a fear of going back to the "school environment" in the aftermath of her ordeal.
