AN 11 year-old girl suffered a broken nose during an incident at a Bolton primary school.

Chantelle Littlewood has told school chiefs that an 11-year-old boy headbutted her and then kicked her.

And her father vowed to keep his daughter off school until the boy accused of attacking her is either suspended or expelled from Chorley Road Primary School.

Anthony Littlewood claims that teachers at the school were aware of previous problems.

He said: "She was headbutted by a boy who has been bullying her for the last few months.

"I'm so angry about this and I am not letting this go. I want the school to take action."

Mr Littlewood said his daughter suffered from an attention disorder which causes her to say things if she is provoked.

He said: "She attends a forward centre in Westhoughton for pupils with behavourial problems and these boys know that and keep provoking her."

Mr Littlewood, of Elgin Street, Halliwell, said: "Chantelle is absolutely distraught and is in a lot of pain."

A member of staff at the school said the headteacher was away so no one could comment about the allegations.
