Angry about class split

[Annlenna]

My son’s school school is splitting the Y1 classes next year and just found out he has been split from his two close friends and most of his other friends. My son hasn’t found out yet but I’m absolutely devastated.

I do understand the school have their own criteria but, as a mum, I’m looking out for my son and I firmly believe this is not going to benefit him. We already struggled with school at the start of Reception so really don’t want to go back to him begging not to go to school.

I’m planning of requesting a meeting with the school to discuss so any tips on how to approach it with the school? Anyone managed to make the school change their mind?

The parents need to get over it. I mean really, just because YOU feel your child should be placed with another certain child doesn't mean that that's what should happen. Said children could be a toxic combination and a very unhealthy mix.

Children - toxic? They are not adults. They deserve better than being described like this. Dc might not gel but they are not toxic in primary school.

@Annlenna how has the first few days gone for him?
