Bit of a back story, explained by my previous thread
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/parenting/2673014-How-do-I-help-DD-3yo-deal-with-this-girl-in-her-class
Anyway it turns out that A is going to go to the same school as DD in September.
From what I can tell A has continued to be the same, and a new trait has appeared - she tells other children to do naughty things so that they get in trouble . In fact A's mum was telling me that A does this with her little sister...
Unfortunately DD is the kind of child who would fall for that trick, she has no guile at all and won't realise she's being set up, she'll just think it sounds fun.
It also looks like A is still a bit of a stirrer with her comments and inclusion/exclusion of others. Again DD is unfortunately the kind of child to react, she is usually tired due to a medical condition and is easily wound up as a result.
You can see where this is going. I'm worried that A will use these tactics on DD - especially as they are already "friends" - and DD will react and look bad as a result.
Should I ask the school if DD and A can be in separate classes? It's a 3 form entry so not hard to achieve. There are a few others going from the same pre school and no issues with any of them.
I am nervous about casting DD (or myself!) as "difficult" by asking this, however I do think it would work out better for DD.
If the advice is that I should ask school - then when would be the best time? Now? Easter? June? When do class lists get allocated usually - I don't want to ask after they've been done as that would be a pain.
I'll need to speak to the school about her medical issues anyway (school is aware of diagnosis but I need to talk to them about a plan to deal with tiredness) so thought I could raise it at the same time. Just not sure when that is.
Thanks very much, sorry it's long.

Should I ask for DD to be in different Reception class from this girl from preschool?
