The reception class doesn't sit right with me

Ds had a settle day in reception last week and it's really playing on my mind. We have done a year in the schools nursery, half days and have gotten a place in the reception school- so far so good all gone to plan.
My son is very out going and confidant and has a very good vocabulary. He talks alot older than he is and will talk to anyone.
2 other mums have asked to be put in the same class as him as he brings out the other children's confidence and instigates play with groups ect.
The reception is a 2 class intake. All the children from the nursery are in the other class except 4 who are in our class. The 2 other boys who asked to go with ds and another girl. The rest of the children come from all over day care and private nurseries and havn't don't the school set up before. When I picked him up a few of the other children were crying and they just seem so much younger and not used to the school setting. Im annoyed that my child has been put with the other 2 in the other class for what I perceive as others benefit. Am I being unreasonable here? Overthinking it?

I don't think your username is relevant. More the fact that you mention a number of times that parents had specifically asked for their children to be in a class with your child since your child is the one bringing out the best in them.

The strange thing is that the classes have been unevenly split. I'm not sue how much attention teachers would pay to parents requesting specific requests about which child they want theirs with.

If you want to ask the school about it I would stick to the unequal distribution of children in classes rather than bring up your own thoughts on why your child has been put with all the new ones.
