Have you tried talking to the school principal first? That might be a better option, and then talk to a lawyer if things don't improve. A difficult issue here would be what 'evidence' you have. Of course you believe your daughter, but her word won't be enough if you consider any sort of legal action.

May be it's time to pull your child out of that school. Not sure if all these not making eye contact and avoiding communication are going to do your little girl any good. Try calling the Equal Opportunities Commission and see if they will take up the case. You need to put some concrete evidence before them I guess. Hope things work out.
