Probably a caution, you're best hope is to get it labelled as a hate crime, I.E she was attacked because she is a traveller not because she's tall or short fat or thin.
I don't agree with that law but at least it can provide some people with a attempt at justice.
I don't wish to worry you but did you see the show on Channel 4 tonight?
If you have not already done so, request to see the head of school and ask for a copy of their policy on bullying.
You state you have written letters to the school, have you kept copies? you need to build up evidence and communication and keep every thing.
Follow the schools policy to the letter and at each stage have a one to one meeting with the head then ask what they will do next and follow it through with them (time scales etc)
In the mean time record all incidents if your daughter has any and take photos if applicable.
Don't back off and make sure you are totally happy and understand each stage and if you need to be a 'pain' then so what.
Sadly, having removed corporal punishment from schools, bullying has shot up simply because teachers have no effective form of control over these minor miscreants.

Blame the do gooders whose philosophy is that we should "understand" why the thugs act as they do rather than protect victims by punishing offenders.

Until common sense prevails, the situation will continue unabated.
send her to a different school
Being from traveller stock they will probably bend over backwards to help you and your daughter.
