Dd has just started year 8. She didn’t enjoy year 7. Her whole primary went to the same secondary school and she had quite a few friends at primary. However, her 2 closest friends have left her for other, more ‘popular’ friends. She sits with a group of friends at lunch but she doesn’t get invited to hang out with them outside school and she feels left out whilst sitting with them at lunch. She’s thinking of moving school but the one she’s at now is the best in the county with the best results (exuleding private). There is another secondary about 25 minute walk away that has been rated ofsted ‘outstanding’ but doesn’t have as good results. I think she likes the fact that it’ll be a fresh start as she only knows 3 people there. She’s willing to ride her bike to school as I can’t take her there by car everyday. We’re just worried the education won’t be as good and her scores won’t be as good. The school we’re looking at does has 3 available spaces. Has anyone else been in a similar situation??
