My son is a little concerned about going into juniors in September , are there any major differences from ks1?

There are not huge differences. School years are designed to build on the year before. There is no bigger difference than going from reception to year 1, or year 1 to year 2

No, not really. Certainly nothing drastic enough to consider homeschooling. In fact, I would say that learning with his peers gets more important as he gets older, not less. What's he concerned about?

I think it is just his anxiety, he absolutely adores his current teacher so worried about moving her I think

Just the way it is though isn't it. He'll get used to it and I think it's a slippery slope to try to shield him from feeling anxious. It's perfectly normal. Hasn't he changed teachers every year in KS1?

Not one that my DD noticed. The jump
from EYFS to key stage 1 is massive so maybe this is making him worry?

Why jump to homeschooling? That's pretty drastic?
