By Martin Heath and Annabel AmosThe mother of a boy at a school rated as inadequate said they were forced to move home by racist bullies.

Denise told BBC Radio Northampton her son endured a catalogue of abuse at the hands of fellow students. "He got called racial slurs, 'monkey hair'. He got told that he needs to go back to his country. My son was born and raised here."Denise said she reported it to the school: "The head teacher then told me they had investigated and they had concluded from this investigation - which they didn't share with me - that there was no racial connotation."

Her son said: "The teachers wouldn't do anything - they are more concerned about the colour of socks than a kid literally getting punched in the face."Denise said: "He refused to fight with them, so my son's trousers were pulled, and exposed my son in the playground to everyone.Image caption,Eventually, she took the decision to move out of the county: "I had to do something and it was a bit radical, but I feel that I've made the right decision to move him away.
