ds starts at another school tomorrow. We only bought the uniform on Monday.
Our local school is over-subscribed so we applied for 2 other not so local schools.
He was given a place at the 'least popular' which is OK but needs rebuilding. From half term ds's classroom is going to be knocked down and he will be moved to a pre-fab for at least 2 years, with all the children sharing a much reduced playground whilst the new school is built. We like the headmaster but I don't like the general area around the school (have to go down an alley to get to the entrance, past pot-smoking teenagers).
School 2 has just rung and offered us a place - we haven't even looked at this one but it has a very good reputation and is the same distance away as the first school...and no building work disruption.
Ds does not cope well with changes, we have spent weeks building him up with details about his school and what to expect. He is only just 4 and still has 40min screaming tantrums (lying on floor type) when he gets disturbed by something.
My gut feeling is to turn down the place and let him settle where he expects to go....but on the other hand, it is supposed to be a 'better' school and the disruption of the building work may counteract the disruption of moving him now.
Someone guide me please!
