A mother who says her son was one of the boys assaulted in the video said she feared for his life over repeated bashings at the school.

“This is the third time this year — my son has been hit in the head, king hit, he’s sore all over,” she said.

“One punch kills and this is escalating and escalating and it won’t be long until someone is seriously injured or killed.”

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said the fight had broken out at lunchtime over a long-running disagreement between two groups.

“It’s absolutely unacceptable,” she said.

Acting Principal Julian Connors said in a statement: “There is no place for incidents like this at our school. It is disappointing and does not reflect the behaviour of the overwhelming majority of our students.

“On Monday there was an altercation between a number of students.

No one was seriously injured and we have taken appropriate disciplinary action.”
