FOI Request - School Violence

Request 101003623586

In the past five academic years up to 2023-24:

The number of instances of abuse aimed at teachers and staff members from pupils.

This is any form of abuse reported in school aimed at a teacher or staff member – this includes verbal and physical abuse

To clarify, if possible can this be the combined total for both physical and verbal abuse in secondary and primary schools?  So no separation between verbal and physical, or between teacher and staff or between primary and secondary.
