DD (9) is such an exuberant girl outside of school but every morning I watch her deflate as we arrive in the school playground. No other kids rush to greet her and if she tries to join a chattering group she is ignored 
Have classmates over for tea and they have a great time but invites rarely reciprocated. Not really asking for advice just wondering if anyone else feels their home is a sanctuary from school for their DC?
She is not a loner by nature; at weekends we escape from our village into town where she does a team sport and has a great time plus she always makes friends on holiday but at school, not so much.
