The Express report:

SCHOOLS are increasingly having to pay compensation to pupils who have been injured by bullying in the latest sign of the compensation culture sweeping Britain.

Last year, 10 schoolchildren won payouts from councils after being assaulted by playground bullies, making a total of £119,130.

The payments include Warrington Council having to pay a pupil £32,500, while another was given £25,000.
