Advice needed - feeling low

[Jaffacakesareyummy]

DS is 7 and finding school tough. He keeps telling lies saying he is given things by 'best friends' when in fact he hasn't. I think he's really struggling to find a special friend as his class are quite tricky. It's making us all rather sad to be honest. I'm wondering if to move him to a new school it's concerning us so much :(

Any advice would be much appreciated

Hello Jaffa. I am sorry your son is having a tricky time at school.
Did you speak with his class teacher at all? She should be your first point of contact. If no help from her, move up the ranks. What's the pastoral care like?

My ds is also part of a tricky class, they come with a bit of a reputation. Most of my sons friends have left the school, not because it's bad, just lives changing tack.

I am often asking the senco to keep any eye on DS. I don't care for the friendship bench, don't like the sound of little ones feeling like Billy no mates, sitting there waiting for someone to run around with.

Unless the school is really poor, I wouldn't think moving would help. I thought of doing that, but decided to stick with it. Most of the kids in his class I am quite glad he's not friends with. I wouldn't have them in my hous anyway.

Have a word with the teacher and keep on it. They may fob you off, depending on the nature of the place.
