I totally agree with mrsgavanrossem. Further, when contacting the school be open to finding out if there is something you don't know about the situation. As they say, there are two sides to a story. Some friendly forms of teasing - not malicious - may be misunderstood. You may also discover if there are other possible reasons why your daughter doesn't want to attend school. Your daughter may need to learn to stand up for herself and Mrs. Biggs needs to learn why she is a bully.
Also, ask the school to set up anti-bullying policy if there is none. This should include some type of school program to be implemented. In the meantime, make sure your daughter has a friend who can help her in this situation and give her specific appropriate responses. Sometimes humor helps. Your daughter should feel like she can tell a trusted adult in the school if anyone is harrassing her.

If you want to complain about someone, the essential rule is to discuss that person's behaviour and not her personality. So you need to ask your daughter exactly what Mrs. Biggs does that makes your daughter feel patronised; also whether she does it to the rest of the class, etc. You need to keep a diary for at least two weeks; record just about every interaction your daughter can recall, including the 'neutral' ones (this for a sense of perspective and in case her head teacher tries to defend her).
Then you write to the head, detailing the behaviour first, and then how it makes your daughter feel and how she behaves as a result. Stay away from the personal epithets for the body of the letter, although you can finish by saying 'This makes my daughter feel as if she is being bullied and/or patronised' - something like that; and request a private meeting with the head (i.e. without Mrs. Biggs there and without your daughter initially, although she may be nearby).
You also need to work out how you want Mrs. Biggs's behaviour to change - or what you want the head to do - and make this clear. But remember that the rule in successful complaining of this nature is to discuss behaviour not personality.
Hope that helps.

I witnessed this kind of behaviour when I was at school...it is not acceptable... stay calm and rational.... approach the headmaster/mistress and go there with a back-up plan (i.e. what you will do if he/she tries to fob you off).
Accept nothing but genuine action and go in there with evidence. If you get no help from the school, approach the Local Education Authority, your MP and the local/national press .... and make sure the head knows that you are both willing and ready to do this.
Best of luck.

As a teacher myself, |I would be grateful if a parent came to me and said their child was being unfaily treated. I would hate to think that a child didnt want to come to school because of me. It sounds as though the teacher may have a problem with your child though, so I would talk to her but go to the headmaster too. If he/she doesnt help I would report it to the Education authority in your area and move schools - if poss! Talk to some other parents too and see if they feel the same.

GO there and speak with the teacher, if that doesn't work go to the Principle of the school, if that doesn't work go to the regional head master of all schools in your area, if that doesn't work, transfer her to private school and file a law suit against her old school to pay for it.

Report her to the union or get the Police involved. Other than that you could terrorise her with a couple of pipe-kicking thugs who enjoy hurting people for a few quid; that normally works for me.

KILL HER!!!!
Just kidding!
Report her to the headmaster or the head of year, and then if they don't do anything take action like petitions and talking to the local newspaper and stuff like that. Don't let them win basically.
