Advice on school friendship issue

Advice needed! I have a 9 year old daughter, she’s finding it tough at the moment with her friendship group, often in tears because of not very nice things being said by other girls, feeling left out etc. ( DH and I have tried hard to help her break out of this group but she is very reserved and can be quiet and simply doesn’t have the confidence to move into other friendship groups.
we have booked some time at a holiday club with a friend outside school. They are looking forward to spending time with each other but a mum of her school friend keeps asking what dates we are going to said club so she can organise the same dates. My daughter ( and I) were looking forward to having a break from school and the girls and friendship issues and now I don’t know what to do!
AIBU to want her to have a break from it all and avoid the situation?

Twos company, three’s a crowd. This might not go well. I’d maybe try and explain your DD is going with someone else but then this school child will feel shunned. Shame it wasn’t kept quiet! I’d chat to the mum if her DD is actually not a problem. If she is, you might have to be evasive. Oh dear.
