Advice needed for 8 year old’s anxiety at school

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice or experiences from anyone whose DC has gone through this. My 8yo DD has always been a really happy, bubbly kid, but for the past few weeks, she’s started getting really upset before school. She cries most mornings and says her tummy hurts. I’ve tried chatting with her, but she’s not really opening up about what’s bothering her. It’s starting to feel like it’s getting worse and I’m worried it’s turning into full-blown school anxiety. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any tips or things that worked for you? I’m feeling a bit lost, tbh. Thanks in advance!

I would make an appointment to see her class teacher to see how she is once she's actually at school or if anything has happened, ie falling out with a friend etc
