Dd(9) and Ds(7) are quite happily settled at state school but for various social and educational reasons dh and I have decided to move them to a local private school if they pass the entrance exam ( a 6 hour assessment!!!!!)
I don't know what to tell them about the assessment because if they don't get in - then what do we say?? Plus what will they say to their friends at their current school about sitting an exam for a new school when we don't actually know whether they will be staying or going??
We are sure the new school is excellent but they won't give a toss about that - they will not want to leave all their friends at their current school and are likely to go berserk ( or at least ask endless tearful questions!!)
Has anyone got experience of changing schools for reasons other than moving house?
