The mother of a teenage girl who took an overdose because she was being bullied has spoken of the moment she realised her daughter was trying to kill herself.
The 14-year-old pupil of Peers School in Littlemore had returned home from classes on Monday after having a meeting with senior school staff about being bullied.
Later that evening, the teenager from Blackbird Leys took a bottle of painkillers. She spent two days recovering at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
She is now back home with her family, but is still terrified of the girl she claimed bullied her, and will not be returning to Peers.
As more parents contact the Oxford Mail to complain about bullying at the school, the girl's mother said she wanted to set up a support group for families in similar situations.
