To ask if you think I have done the right thing

My 6 year old DD had a crap year 1 in school- she was really unhappy and had some friendship issues - it was all a bit toxic and horrible and one girl in particular made her feel ostracised. We are thinking of moving her at the end of year 2.

This summer we have just kept her away from school stuff to give her a break - we have been away on holiday, had family visiting etc. she hasn’t seen anyone from school and has been loads happier and more herself.
Anyway yesterday we bumped into the girl and her mother who made my child’s year 1 a misery- said girl was going on and on about all the friends from school she has seen over the hols etc and my child is now super upset and feeling left out again (which was the issue all year)

I thought I was doing the right thing by giving my child a break but Aibu to think it wasn’t the right thing?

I had been into school a few times as this girl was excluding my daughter, telling other girls not to play with her etc.

I just wanted to have a family summer away from all this school crap!

Hopefully new teacher new start.
Teach your daughter how to be a great friend, take about great children at school, what do they do.
Talk about what makes children sad too, don't discuss children but their actions.
Ask her who she'd like to be friends with and try to set something up.
We drew round dd and then 'drew/stuck' things that would make her a great friend etc
