Wwyd??

Ok this will be vague...sorry.

Ds (9) is in a primary that has 200 pupils.
He has been there since reception
Major changes to SLT since earlier in the year.
I havent always been 100% happy with the school (almost moved him in reveption) but worked through issues
However I'm now seeing things I'm not happy with.
Ds seems a bit unenthusiastic since year 3 - which was a disaster due to supply teacher
There is a place at a local school that has 50 pupils
Wwyd?
I really want to do the right thing for ds

Visit the school and decide if da would be happy there. It’s not too small if it meets your ds’s needs. And it sounds like you’d be less worried.

I think it sounds v much like you dislike the school as you have issues with the teacher and head. That's fine but I think it's worth being straight with yourself about it because if you move your ds and he doesn't settle and make friends you may find yourself having to move him back and that won't be easy. I also think a v small school could be difficult for making friends. I also dislike mixed age classes at KS2
