The normal safeguarding processes in schools do NOT include meetings with the bullying child's parents - this is so out of order! Bad enough for the child to be bullied without inflicting similar on the parents.
Speak to the safeguarding governor whose name should be on the school website.
The school has a duty to safeguard a child from bullying and need to be held to account.
That’s appalling, I can only think the school were hoping to resolve this informally.
As others have said, ask for the safeguarding and bullying policies, then email and ask for a meeting.
I’m assuming a meeting has been arranged between form teacher, parents and child?
If there have been “injuries” this should have been formally logged by the school.
Have other pupils been punished or penalised?
It’s awfully hard to ask for advice on behalf of others and it’s possible your info is already second hand to you and now third hand to us. What I’m trying to say very badly is sometimes 9 year old boys do fall out, they can be a bit heavy handed with each other and are the parents aware of any recent “falling out” between friendship groups?
I’m not in any way belittling or disputing the facts, bullying is abhorrent, but a few more facts might help.
