Dd feels afraid of doing anything seen as wrong in her current school due to a new teacher not being careful with her approach. She's been starving herself at lunch because she feels sick with worry and dare not speak up when unhappy with something because she's heard how the teacher speaks and answers other children. I spoke to teacher and thought it were better for one week then the same again three times over.
The school seem harsh in their approach and my sensitive dd is more than struggling with meltdowns every day after school over nothing. I've got a place in a school she's been to see and were happy with but now feels worried and wants to stay? She knows all the children in her year with no issues. It's the School and her class teacher. Not sure if this matters but ofsted are saying they need a lot of improvements. Other parents have voiced their concerns regards this teacher but their children aren't as affected as my dd.

How old is DD?

I don't have any advice but just wanted to give you my sympathy went through very similar with my DS. With him I had to withdraw him because his mental health deteriorated. Will be starting the new school soon. DS teacher was very harsh but it seemed like he was the only one so severely affected. I was very reluctant for him to leave the school as he was settled. Would you normally make this sort of decision for your DD or is she old enough to really understand the consequences either way? If you don't take this place would it be likely to come up again? I ended up with DS at home because I put off moving him.

Thankyou so much for your care, she is 7 and among the youngest in her class. She has her first day tomorrow after a short visit today and Hayes it already and wants to go back even though she pleaded this morning to never have to go back to the old school when I suggested staying while visiting the new one on certain days. The school were not willing to be flexible at all with regards to a staggered start. I can't sleep because she's crying with worry for school tomorrow. It all seems very extreme of her. We have talked lots and her brothers have all tried to reassure her too, it's exhausting for us all and clearly very upsetting mentally for her.

Hope she got on okay today.

Initially she said it were a good day and thanked me for taking her and then two hour after being home she said she still doesn't want to go back their and doesn't like the shouty teacher or the way the class works. Keeps asking how long it will be to go back to her old school!
