Afer 2 years on the waiting list we have finally got DD a place at our original 1st choice school, for Sept this year when DD will be starting year 9.
However, I am worried about how she will adapt to the change, the separation from her friends, and the half hour bus journey (she can currently walk to school).
Am I being a pushy mum wanting her to go to the better school, and will I make her miserable by moving her 2 years into secondary school?
Or should I go for it, knowing that she will get better results this way. She is a bright child, doing fine, but could do so much better at a more academic school.
Anyone been in this situation before, and what did you decide? Have you ever regretted your decision?
TIA
