We are going to be moving at the time our dd changes from Infant to Junior school. We are moving because we want to live somewhere cheaper than the South East, so are actually considering all areas from Cornwall to Northumberland!
I just wondered if anyone thought it would be better for dd to move to an area where they have the infant/junior system, so that all her junior school classmates had also moved schools at the same time as her, or whether it would be better to move her to an area where they just have the primary system, and she'd be possibly the only new child in year 3?
I guess if we went for a junior school, then all her other classmates, who would be new to the school too, might stick like glue to the classmates they know from infant school out of fright/initial insecurity and she'd find it harder to make friends? Or at a primary would she find it difficult to infiltrate what might be hard and fast friendship groups? Or would they all be interested in the 'new girl' and it might be easier?
Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you.
