sherrard, if the girl is doing that to her, then that is a health and safety issue as well as a bullying one. Whatever you decide about Thing 1 and what she is allowed to do do, can I suggest that you put yet more pressure on the school, pointing out that what the girl is doing is not just bullying but could actually kill your daughter if she struck her head. Whatever level you have already taken your concern to may I suggest that you escalate it again? TBH (and I have no children) if that ws happening to one of mine, especially at this end of term, I would be removing her from school until proper action had been taken.
