Lovely wise women of mn, I'm looking for people's experiences and views on moving children to a new Secondary School. Their current one has an RI Ofsted, like all of the 5 school's in this area, but is slowly improving(as are all the others.) Our problems with current school are that it's very Draconian (ie Internal Exclusions and Detentions for not having your "learning kit", which may mean a ruler or book.) My dd2 is in Year 7 and has not yet settled, still feeling very anxious to the point of giving herself severe indigestion, missing school because of this and having meds. My dd1 is in Year 10 and has been recently bullied; food being thrown, name calling and bullied via fb.
My questions are, how much of this is true of all Secondary schools? And secondly what is your opinion on the impact moving school may have on their progress, vs leaving them at a school where neither of them are happy.
Thanks in advance!
