My 6 year old is the most sweet natured boy you will ever meet. He is eager to please and always tries to do the right thing. We are moving, not far away but have a choice of keeping him in the school he is in (which is a good school with 120 pupils) or transferring him to the school on the doorstep of new house ( which is a good school also with 70 pupils and as a result less facilities). He has been on the SEN register since starting school and was assessed at the time to have the speech capacity of a three year old. He has worked really hard and now is at the point where we will be looking to come off SEN at Christmas. We had resolved not to move him, as 1) we found a lot of kids from our new village do not go to the local school 2) I have a 4 year old starting school next year to consider 3) Didn't want to upset the applecart. Upon telling my son, he burst into tears and told us he has no friends at school, is lonely and was looking forward to moving. I know he's not the most popular in school and it is very cliche, but didn't realise it was this bad. Advice please!
