Advice regarding dislike for school

[pop1973]

Hi I am just asking for some advice really.

My lo settled okay into his last school, we moved areas about 15 minutes down the road, put him in a new school.

He hasn't settled very well, now getting picked on by other children in the year group. Have spoken to school and asked for it to be sorted.

My only regret is moving the child to the school, I wish I had gone on my first gut feeling and just carried on with the first school and driven him there every day. As I have to get the car out anyway, it is impossible to walk child to the new school. I wanted him to adjust and meet friends in the new school, however, there are only a few children in the area that go to the school.

Apart from hassle the school every day about the problems with him, what else can I do ??
I was sitting there all last night worried about him and couldn't sleep last night about it.

could you move him back? Is there still room?

I don't know, I haven't found out about his old school. I am not sure if the school would feel funny if I approached them. Its been 4 months since I moved him.

Ask the old school if he could come back. Who cares if you offend their feelings (and no, they won't be offended that you asked, anyway). You moved because it seemed like it might be more convenient, only it's not after all.

Surely you don't have to say who you are to find out if they've got a place? Can't you phone the LA and ask them? Anyway CantSupinate's right, who cares? It wasn't as though you moved and told them it was because they were useless.
