anyone changed schools in yr 2

[footiemad]

Don't know what to do!
3 ds at primary ,always been a good school,
1 yr5 won't move him now,
1 yr 2 thinking of moving him,
1 nursery will move him too.
Fed up with headmistress, bad attitude,teachers can't stand her and are leaving,what chance do the children stand!
results getting worse every yr,13 passes this yr,which is v.bad for schl,11 of them had home tutors!!
Long story but ds2 v.bright and bored is getting in trouble and becoming class scapegoat,found out teacher told him to go away fri,didn't want to hear his side of a story. ds crying in heads office, told to wipe his face and not be silly, HE's 7 not 17!!!{angry]
but if i tell ds we might look at another school he goes mad.
Help!

Difficult one. If you're going to move one of them you should move them all, but children do get set back by about 6 months when move schools.

You have to weigh up the pros and cons to see if it's worth it.

We moved ds1 in year two, just after sats.

We just have, well in January.

Ds1 in yr2, ds2 coming from nursey into reception at new school.
It has been a breeze, no trouble at all.
They both love the new school

Jmum6, when you say children are set back about 6 months when they move school, do you mean academically or in terms of social development and confidence? Is that your personal experience or stuff you've read etc? Just wondered, as DS1 changed schools (and country and house) at the start of Y2 and didn't really seem to make much progress at all last year. He only really feels a proper part of the class this year, even though he has always had friends.

I moved dd1 in year 2 age 7, i was so worried about it as she wasnt the most confident child, but she was mostly fine, it was more an area thing for me though, and she has settled in beautifully and made loads of new friends.. and i am so glad i didnt wait and do it when she was older, as i think this would have been harder
best of luck

thanks everyone! sorry had trouble with pooter since i posted!!
Ds seems more keen to look around new school now.
Dh and i will have to discuss this more seriously as we need to make our decision now.
jmum6,Am worried about a set back as ds2 is top of class, but maybe that will be to his benefit.
batters will cat you.thanks.

our dd started a new school in year 2 too. best move we ever made as far as she is concerned.

I've done it- it takes on average two months to settle.
I have never seen a set back- only progress from the academic point of view - but my daughter went from state school to private school and the routine was very differnet- besides she is a shy child.
Best thing i ever did.i moved the others as well later on, all to different schools so now I have all three in differnet schools- still after two terms I am very pleased we 've moved them
