A teaching assistant who exaggerated the extent of the injuries she suffered while restraining a disruptive six-year-old pupil has lost an appeal that the school had been negligent.
Sharon Durrant had made a claim over injuries to her left shoulder, chest and limbs, and for post-traumatic stress disorder, following the incident at Clover Hill VA Infant School and Nursery in Bowthorpe.
She had argued the school’s ‘Sunshine Room’, a calming-down area for disruptive children, was an unsafe place of work and that the school had not effectively operated systems for monitoring and management of difficult pupils.
