Hi Guys
I'm hoping I can get some advice here. We currently are living in Ireland and may have to reclocate to Leeds in the near future. My son is in the irish equivalent to Year 6 right now so would be starting Year 7 in Sept 2020.
I'm wondering if it would be better to move now as soon as we can so he can make friends with people in year 6 who he would potentially move up with. Other option is to wait until next Sept and move nearer so he starts then. I'm a bit worried if we move now that he'll have to start a new school now and then again in Sept.
Also wondering how much transition stuff do they do in Year 6 - what would we miss out on if we waited to send him straight into Yr 7.
I hope this makes sense and isn't too confusing!
Thanks in advance!
