Children anxious on return to school

My ds (12) settled in well to year 7 at secondary school last year, made friends, generally happy. After going back to school in September, he has been very anxious (at home) developed ocd (checking everything) and has drifted away from most of his friends at school and seems unhappy there. It's gutting to watch. Nice tutor who has chatted to him but feel so sad for him and helpless, help

This is a pretty quiet forum (especially for older kids) so I'd try "Secondary Education" as it's a school issue.

I found it very hard trying to get my pre-teen/teen sons open up to me. I'd be talking to CAMHS or the GP personally.
