A 12-YEAR-OLD schoolgirl was filmed on a mobile phone being beaten by a fellow pupil.

Rachael Neville was jumped on from behind in a hallway at Bullers Wood School, Chislehurst, as classes ended at 3pm.

Her attacker kicked her in the head about 20 times, giving her a black right eye, cuts and scratches, bruised ribs and a bruised left elbow.

Rachael's mother Jackie, 43, and her sister Charlotte, 16, had been waiting in the family car outside the school grounds and got a phone call at 3.15pm, saying Rachael had been attacked.

As they hurried past a group of girls in the school grounds, Charlotte heard her sister's screams.

She realised the attack had been filmed on a phone but the girls ran off when she tried to grab the handset they were watching it on.

The 12-year-old went home but was taken to the Princess Royal University Hospital, Farnborough, by ambulance after she fainted in the bathroom following the attack last Wednesday.

Rachael was discharged at just after midnight.

The assault came seven hours after her parents say they phoned teachers at the school, telling them it was going to happen.

The night before, in an internet chatroom, fellow pupils told Rachael, who has a seven-year-old brother, her attacker had been waiting for her after school.

Her father David, 45, said: "Rachael gets straight As, she's in the school choir and she likes dancing.

"She is a quiet sweet child and she did not deserve this."

Mrs Neville added: "My daughter is too terrified to go to school.

"I am angry she was wearing the school's uniform on their premises and they did not protect her."

Speaking about the attack, which happened during Anti-Bullying Week, Kathleen Clarke, headteacher at the school in St Nicolas Lane, Logs Hill, said: "It would be inappropriate for me to comment as the matter is the subject to a police investigation and it would also be inappropriate to speak about an individual student.

"I can say indiscipline is not tolerated at Bullers Wood School and I can confirm a student was permanently excluded following an assault after school on another student."
