So my DD is in reception atm due to go into Y1 in September and she has come home tonight with a letter stating her new teachers name and that her best friends have been put in the other class. She is devastated that her 2 best friends are in the other class and she hasn't really got any friends in her new class. She has been really upset about this. Usually the split the class by oldest/youngest but this time they haven't done this as she is with some of the oldest and youngest. At the last patents evening they did say tgey take into consideration friendship groups when putting into classes. So AIBU to speak to the teacher and ask what is going on and why she's been split up from her friends. It's a huge change going into Y1 alone but adding that she's been split up from her friends is just not on. I feel really sad for her.
