My son is year 2.
He's bright but easily distracted and often a bit lazy when he's struggling- gives up very quickly,
The school he is currently at failed Ofsted when he was in reception and since then they have yet to pull it back. We kept him there as he was settled and KS1 scored well.
KS2 has not fared well. Lots of staff sickness, inconsistencies, poor results. I'm privy to 'insider' knowledge re how bad things actually are behind the scenes.
I'm worried about DS going into that.
I've made enquiries around local schools and two have places for DS for as soon as lockdown is up. Both are outstanding.
I think he's fare better at either one.
My only concern is his friendships- he's an only child and those friendships are very important to him.
If you were me would you move to the better school or stay put for friendships? It'll break his heart- but he's 7.
