I was in this position for a year at my last workplace and actually found that managerial intervention made things worse. It was like schoolyard bullies being told to stop by the teacher, putting on a fake smile / apology in front of her, then starting again a few weeks later.
I was advised to follow the statutory grievance procedure, but that would have made things even more awkward, so I ended up resigning and taking a new job. Not exactly a dream for employment lawyers, but I was much happier as a result.
It all depends on how much you like it there / how much it means to you. Is it your dream job or just a stepping stone? If the former, then use the grievance procedure as a means of getting redeployed to another team. If the latter, then there is no shame in leaving and finding something better (which, incidentally, is the best revenge).

Critics of this move have clearly never been asked about their plans to marry and have children in a job interview, how religious they are, or - most gallingly - whether any potential boyfriends would have to convert to their religion. Yet I have been asked all these questions, and more, during job interviews at SEEMINGLY REPUTABLE FIRMS!
To all those who say that merit should be the overriding factor, I couldn't agree more! But then what will you do about biased interviewers like the one above? People who belittle the achievements of BAME candidates, because they can't get over the fact that not everyone in this country shares the same genetic make-up and religious beliefs?
