A pupil started leaving school early to avoid being "banged out" by bullies.
The 13-year-old, who has not been named, had endured bullies making "her life hell" at Starbank School in Birmingham.
The teenager became so scared of confrontations with her classmates that she started to attend part-time to avoid the school run perils.
“I’m scared of coming into school because I’m sure stuff is going to happen," she told The Birmingham Mail.
"I have to run home every day because I know I might get banged out (beaten up).
“There’s lots of school rivalry and talk of knives being brought in.
“Every day it gets worse and worse.
“They tell me to go to hell."
According to teaches and parents at the school there are weekly "Thursday fights" in which pupils square off against one another.
On June 27 some members of staff went on strike over fears teachers and students were not being adequately safeguarded.
The picket line was formed after two boys took a knife into the Ofsted rated 'Outstanding' school.
Shocking footage also emerged of children fighting on the school field and in corridors.
The girl added: “My friend gets bullied a lot, in fact every day she comes in she gets bullied.
“A girl pushed her over and then they all joked about it.”
The pupil's mum said she requested a meeting with the governors and was offered mediation, but so far it has not helped.
"My daughter comes home nearly every day in tears," she said.
"I have her home early because I don't feel she'll be safe walking home.
"She used to love school but not any more.
"She's on a part-time timetable because she doesn't feel safe at lunchtime and after school. I've been told she needs to be back in full time education which I totally agree, I want the best for my daughter."
Councillor Jayne Francis, cabinet member for education, skills and culture at Birmingham City Council , looked to downplay the levels of violence at the school.
“We are deeply disappointed by the recent reports of violence at Starbank School as this does not reflect the experience of our students and staff," she said.
“While there have been isolated incidents in school, these have been extremely rare and have been dealt with appropriately, in-line with city-wide safeguarding policies and the school’s records reflect this.
“Pupil behaviour at Starbank School is well-managed and the school environment continues to be safe for both pupils and staff.
"If parents have any concerns, parent workshops are being held to facilitate discussion or they would be actively encouraged to speak to the head teacher directly.”
Executive head teacher Satnam Dosanjh sent a letter to parents on June 27 saying: "We would like to reassure you that pupil behaviour is well-managed and the school environment continues to be safe for both pupils and staff.
"While there have been isolated cases of knife possession in school, such incidents are extremely rare and are dealt with in-line with city-wide safeguarding policies."
