Our DCs (aged 5 and 7) left their state primary school recently for a number of reasons (huge class sizes (37), staff absenteism, mixed year groups, little provision for able pupils, very poor parent/teacher communication etc ). The eldest has gone to an independent junior school (there were no spaces in other local state primaries and for other reasons) and the youngest to a different local state primary. We were reluctant to move them as they both had some very good friends at their old school. Anyway, since we moved schools (but have still stayed in the same house as before so not moved area), their friends mums have stopped contacting us - literally dropped us like a stone. I am quite upset for the DCs because I had meant to try and keep their old friendships up and have sent party invites/play date invites etc but they have all been ignored. Is it because we just dont go to the same school any more?
