Can any body here with any experiences throw their thoughts into the ring. My daughter is at a central London secondary school. She is now in the second term of Year 8 and is still unhappy. How long do I give it? Year 9 is quite a natural break and I'm torn between trying to stick it out vs come on every child should be happy.
My child has never been happy at this place. There are 3 classes and the other 2 classes are fine but we got a toxic class. One of they only girls my daughter liked has left as she was bullied really badly. There is absolutely no one in the class that my daughter shares the same values with. She is polite, kind and very sweet natured.
She is bright but a year younger than her peers so I need to move her to somewhere that she would be nurtured. She is only average academically as an August child but holding her own and doing well academically. She is hugely gifted at drama and singing but I just want her to thrive. Nothing seems to ingnite her - it's like she has given up. It is breaking my heart.
