I'm looking for advice...my stepson (12) is unhappy after his first year at secondary school. He's attending a Catholic school with friends from primary but just hasn't settled. He talks of being bullied but we can't get to the bottom of this, the school have tried to help. We only see him every other weekend and sometimes it's not enough time to really discuss what the problems are. His mother is a teacher and wants him to move to the school where she teaches. We can think of many reasons why this seems a bad idea - the school is a long way from his home, it's also in a bad catchment area even though it is a school trying to improve. What if she leaves her job etc etc. Does anyone know how schools view this? Are there any positive reasons why it might work? So far we can only see negative one's but I do appreciate it's a Mum's natural instinct to want to protect her child. Thanks.

Advice please - is it a good idea for a child to go to the same school his Mum teaches at?
