Should I move my kids to a new school?

My husband and I have two children (actually my step children but I've adopted both). They both go to the prep school/ nursery that DH works at, DS will go into Year 3 in Sept and DD will go into Reception. The school itself is great, and obviously we have great relationships with the staff, however we've recently had issues with some of the other parents. The first issue was other parents commenting on both my relationship with my husband and children in front of the children. Our current issue is that a few rather aggressive disgruntled parents have made comments about DH to DS.

I really hate that the actions of a few people are having such a negative effect on our family. We are really starting to think that moving the children to a different school might be the answer. But are concerned that they've already dealt with a lot of change in their lives and don't want to cause them unnecessary stress.

Does anyone have any experience in moving their children to a different school? Or dealing with having a parent work in the same school as their child/children? Any insight would be my appreciated.

One of my parents worked at one of my schools when I was a child. It wasn’t for long, but I didn’t love it.

However, if the discounted fees you get at their current school mean your DC can go to a nicer school than you could ordinarily afford, maybe it’s worth it? It depends what the alternative school is, and if your DC are really happy at their current school otherwise.

But these parents saying stuff to your DC sound awful. I can’t believe they’re making these comments to your children Shock

Don't move your DC because of bitchy small minded parents. Just ignore them
