Thousands of pounds has been paid out to pupils in Forth Valley who sue their schools.
The “compensation culture” in classrooms has seen local authorities award more than £100,000 to children in the last five years.
One youngster received a payout following a fall in the playground and another won £1,375 after they kicked through a glass door and cut their leg.
Stirling Council has paid out almost £60,000 to 13 pupils since 2008, although far more pupils made claims which were unsuccessful. Compensation demands for a stolen iPad, torn trousers and lost shoes were turned down.
Falkirk Council settled 15 claims in five years totalling £34,000 but would not disclose information about why the damages were paid.
A spokeswoman said: “All of the compensation was related to injuries sustained by pupils. I am not able to provide further details as the details of any injuries could identify these pupils.”
Clackmannanshire Council paid out almost £6,000 in the same five-year period both claims were made after pupils fell. To win compensation, a child must prove there has been a breach of the duty of care owed to them by the school.
If the child has suffered as a result of negligence they can submit a claim for their suffering and funding for any medical treatment. Stirling Council’s insurers pick up the bill if damages total more than a £25,000 cap.
“The council’s excess is £25,000 so any costs over and above this are costs to the insurer,” said a spokeswoman.
A 10-year-old pupil at Bridge of Allan Primary School won the maximum amount from the council after suing for “discrimination”.
Stirling Council refused to release any further details about the £44,000 claim, which was settled earlier this year, but stated that “the allegations were made against other pupils”.
A spokeswoman added: “We can confirm that no teacher was suspended in connection with these allegations.”
A 16-year-old pupil was also awarded the maximum £25,000 after being struck by a cricket bat during a PE lesson at Wallace High School.
A 13-year-old at St Modans High School won £1,375 after kicking a glass door pane, which shattered and cut his leg.
The claim was originally for £10,000.
Pupils also secured damages after incidents on school trips. Parents of a primary school child who “fell ill” on an excursion were awarded travelling expenses of £255 after they were forced to pick him up.
Parents of another pupil who was too unwell to attend a ski trip to Italy clawed back £670 from Stirling Council for fees paid in advance.
In the classroom, a 13-year-old girl won £15,000 for an eye injury sustained after another Bannockburn High School pupil “threw/kicked” a pen.
The parents of another pupil are waiting for a decision about a £25,000 damages claim submitted after their child tripped over a climbing frame during gym class at Bannockburn Primary.
