Is this is the George Parkin One Day School (or similar)? If so they are then both kids are exceptionally bright, I'm not talking a bit intelligent in some areas it is in the top couple of % across the academic spectrum. ODS is a really cool place, it teaches really interesting stuff at their level and they get to mix with kids who are mentally on par. If it is some other school then my assumptions will be rubbish.
Your daughter is your primary concern and it is your job to give her the best environment... no need to tell you this. She will learn from this situation - what ever happens. It is your job to help her learn something positive from it. So you can teach her how to deal with a situation like this so that the bully does not come off best. This would come in two ways: how she can personally handle the situation and how you can be there to support and help her overcome the bully. (if you need to get really nasty then try keep it away from her ;-)
This boy is also very intelligent and seems to be running rings around his parents. He really needs to learn that his behavior is NOT ACCEPTABLE. It seems he gets away with the behavior at home and one day school. Does he get away with it at his normal school? As an pupil at ODS is is an ambassador to his normal school, he also needs his normal school to OK him to go to ODS. This privilege can be revoked. Their normal head teacher and the ODS heads would have been my first port of call. The both schools will have a policy on bullying make sure these are followed. Possible threats include further action to the police and withdrawing your daughter from the school. Carry out your threats, you cannot let the school sweep it under the carpet.
I would also ask questions about this boy, if animals don't like him or any of the other abuse / pre-serial killer traits are present (he already has intelligence, devious, disposition to sexual based violence, weak parents...) - he needs serious help! Any of these concerns and I would also go directly to SIPS. Tell them they are dealing with a super intelligent brat who will run rings around them unless they are properly prepared!
Good luck
and remember this little shit of a bully probably has a higher IQ than anyone else involved (except maybe your daughter :-)
