A SCHOOL year- book has been used to cruelly taunt a bullied pupil who left school after going blind.

Leavers at Springburn Academy mock former pupil David McIntyre who appealed for help for severe bullying while in third year at the school.

His father Thomas claimed that the stress of the bullying caused him to go blind.

Disgusted parents contacted the Evening Times after spotting jibes about the disabled youngster, who suffered from a brain condition called dyspraxia.

In the yearbook, fifth and six year leavers are asked to list their Best School Memory.

One entry attributed to a female pupil, who says she wants to be a primary teacher, writes: "Hitting David McIntyre with a ball and blinding him. Hahaha."

Another entry said to be from a fellow female pupil, who states she plans to be a district nurse, says her favourite memory is, the previous pupil "hitting David McIntyre with a softball".

The yearbook was written by pupils but has a foreward from head teacher Liz Ervine. Certain pages are sponsored by other teachers, meaning they paid for the pages.

The book was professionally printed and handed out to pupils leaving the school.

One parent, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Evening Times: "The photographs and comments are disgusting."

Other pupils list their favourite memories as hitting their peers with bottles, knocking them over and fighting.

A section of the book lists pupils, "Most Likly To... [SIC]" and includes, "Most Likly to Kill Someone," "Most Likly To End Up In Jail," "Most Likly To Star On Jeremy Kyle."

SNP education spokeswoman Mhairi Hunter said: "I am stunned by this. There should be zero tolerance towards bullying and violence in our schools.

"Something has gone badly wrong here and I hope that the council will get to the bottom of it and ensure that something like this cannot happen again."

Mr McIntyre contacted newspapers in 2010 claiming David, then 14, was being hounded by his peers. He said the stress of the situation worsened the symptoms of dyspraxia and caused him to go blind.

Mr McIntyre said the school failed to protect him from bullies and he was moved to a different school.

In 2009, the Evening Times told how mum Jacqueline O'Donnell's son Roby, 12, was attacked by a 13-year-old at Springburn Academy and beaten so badly he ended up in hospital with a head injury.

The Evening Times understands that, when spoken to by the head teacher, the two female pupils denied writing the comments.

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said the school was recalling all the books and added: "The comments made by a minority of pupils in the year book are deeply regrettable. The school apologises for any potential distress this may have caused."
