My daughter is starting school in a week. All summer she has been getting really upset about not wanting to go to her accepted school, and saying she wants to go to a different one where all her pre-school friends will be. However, said school has a bad name to it and ofsted reports mostly require improvement and state behavioural issues are a problem as well as lack of individual student attention. So I was completely put off and of course searched for a better school which I think I have found. But upon their open day and having a home visit, I discovered their welcoming was very slack and teachers are actually a bit unfriendly. This threw me off completely but maybe I'm overworrying. I'm just hoping September proves I made the right choice. My daughter is very worried she won't make any friends. How can I help her with this also?
