Year 7 Anxiety, school not helpful.

I need to know if I'm overreacting or if I'm in the right to be angry.

DD11, 3 weeks into year 7, struggling with anxiety, she's been sick, not sleeping, eating. She's not with anyone she knows and said she feels lonely. She struggles with social anxiety.

School said they could move her into a form with friends from her primary school. Had a lengthy phone call about it and how the school put this place with children who struggle. She needs to feel supported and its important for social development and confidence.
DD11 very happy and went into school happy.

After a phone call today I've been told that the teacher never promised it and that they are not sure it can happen now but will look into into it.

I'm so angry they have dangled this carrot infornt of her, heavily implied it, said all the right things and then changed their mind.

Am I overreacting? I don't know what we are going to do if it doesn't happen.

No they shouldn't have said they would if they won't. Phone call/meeting with the Head of Year on Monday to see how this can be resolved.
