DD isn't getting much out of the state school socially or academically and I am thinking of moving her into a local private prep. I know it's not ideal timing, but I think she would love it - small classes, no disruptive kids, challenging lessons, more kids like her, and it would probably significantly increase chances of getting into a good secondary school. But she isn't keen to go, because she's an introvert, not a risk taker/adventurer and is intimidated by the idea of a new environment and new people. The private school realises that DD is nervous and have said they will make sure DD is looked after during break, lunch etc. But I realise it's a risk that she'd be friendless and miserable in an unfamiliar environment. Does anyone have any positive stories about moving schools so close to the end of primary?
