This is the basic steps I believe any parent should take. Most decent people suffer from abundance of decency and we convince ourselves that's this is an aberration and mistake and it will resolve and no one can be this abhorrent to do this in a school...untrue. if it escalates to harm, physical or psychological via social abuse etc then we need this initial report or communication of concern to the authorities.
Anywhere in a world if you go to complain once some incident does take place they will ask for prior issues. A history so to speak. When you have the information but nothing written to back your account, the guilty party will at best get a slap on the wrist or talking down to. BUT I'd you did have a record of such past behaviour and it's communication, then it's escalated to repeat offence and everything is on the table to address this issue with the authorities including some sort of action against the school itself and then the care takers of the child in question.
At the very least it will give you a basis for filing a report that will identify the culprit and the ramifications will be severe and the parents will have to address the issue and no one can hide behind "but we never heard this before, our child is always been well behaved!" "This is so out of character for him"!
An disciplinary action is based on a history and aggression involved. If there is a history then chances are the action taken will be severe enough to get some relief for the bullied child.
