Moving a child school

2 replies

So I have been asked to apply for an assistant head role at a school. This school is in a different county, but the same town as my MIL, SIL etc who we have an ok relationship with and my young sons have an excellent relationship with.

My eldest is in year 2, my middle son reception.

Is it fair to move them school (if I were to apply and get this job) has anyone moved school at that age, and it have adverse affects on them?

They are my priority and whilst the job role is considerably more money, for me the important thing is their well-being so if it’s likely to be more than a temporary disruption I won’t even consider it. My husband thinks it’s no big deal - I think it might be. Anyway - opinions?

As a teacher I would have thought that you would be aware of how changing schools at different points affects children. in most cases (especially young children) it is mainly not so bad. Without knowing your DC it is hard to say.

It can also depend on how you present it to them.

As a more personal question

Are you sure that you are not using this as an excuse not to go for the job?
