School children have been accused of trying to hit a mother while she carried her baby in her arms.

The mother of two, who does not want to be named, said she has witnessed the children harming others and outlined her own experiences.

She said: “Everyday children from Future Academies Watford wait for children from Parmiter’s or St Michael’s High School going down the alleyway to scare them, intimidate them and ask for money.

“They throw stones and spit on the other children.”

The woman said she has also been subjected to abuse from the group of children.

She said: “To protect my son from that group, I walked him home down the alleyway.

“They tried to hit me with my baby in my arms.

“They have also kicked my front door and thrown stones at my window. It’s terrifying.

“I have had to phone the police twice, but when they arrived the children had run away.”

A Future Academies Watford spokesperson confirmed that the mother visited to school for the first time to discuss the issues on Friday, November 11.

The spokesperson added: “Her frustration was clear for all to see. No member of our community should be feeling the way that she understandably is.

 “We immediately went to the police and sent several members of staff to Boundary Way at the end of the school day.”

The academy said that not all the children in the pictures provided by the mother attend the school, but the parents of the children who do have been contacted.

“We will be taking robust action towards any student who has been showing negative behaviour towards our neighbours… we will leave no stone unturned to resolve this,” the spokesperson added.

The mother’s claims come only weeks after the police were called to the school to reports that a pupil was verbally abusive towards a member of staff, before becoming physically aggressive.

And recently, the school received a 'requires improvement' rating from Ofsted.

The police have been approached for a comment.
