Hi,
My 2 DCs are at a great (small) private prep school. We have decided to move them to a state school, which has a good reputation but is HUGE! My DD will start at year 7, and probably know no-one in her year group of 360 pupils. My DS will go into year 9, he may know 1 or 2 people. He is very worried about making friends and fitting in. All his current friends are off to the extremely expensive posh private school.
Please can you help me with ideas about how to make this exciting and positive for them? DS is anxious and doesn't cope with change well. He is very bright and has a scholarship. DD is also bright but has more of a bubbly personality...
Thanks so much
