Police said the boy was hit by a reversing car on the grounds of a school at Bathurst just before 5pm.

Emergency services were called to All Saints' College and treated the boy on the scene for around 40 minutes until an air ambulance arrived.

The toddler was taken to Westmead Children's Hospital. The hospital was not permitted to release information on his condition.

Inspector Gerard Powell from the Chifley Local Area Command said the boy had suffered a head injury.

Police have set up a crime scene at the school and are investigating how the toddler was hit.

A 38-year-old woman, who was driving the Holden Commodore wagon believed to have hit the child, was taken to hospital for mandatory testing.
