Hi, we are moving house from Northampton to Devon - overall a quality of life move, but a big decision nonetheless.
I have a 13yr old girl who will be starting in year 10 GCSE's in September, she has a few close friends here currently and she does enjoy her school. She is very happy so the thought of me moving her to a new school does worry me a bit.
She has told me that she is sad to be leaving, however on the face of it she does seems ok with the move. Obviously she may not be telling me how she really feels for fear of worrying me. I understand that it is a big change for her, new uniform, being the new girl when she starts.
I am being very supportive and I have already made contact with some people where we are moving who have daughters who are also going into year 10 and she has made friends with one.
I have also told her that she can have her current friends to stay during the holidays.
I want to make the transistion as stress free as possible for her, any other suggestions/advice would be welcome xx
