We chose the wrong school ! I feel so sad

Hey , so we chose our DS a school and I’m worried it’s the wrong one, he had a choice of a very small one for just primary years or a big one which would continue all of his school life (I was not the convinced on the facility’s for the secondary part of the school), we chose the small one and now I’m thinking with his outgoing bubble character he would have preferred the larger school, where he would have spent his whole school life ! I’m on a waiting list but chances are it won’t be available now 😭 I thought the small one would be good for more individual attention and less bullying and he would have some good options for secondary schools but now after seeing it I feel like it’s too small and cramped ! He is currently in a larger school for kinder.

Thank you all for you input you have provided me with feedback I hadn’t even thought about and I’m much happier with my decision 😊 he will start in September and hopefully settle down and enjoy the next 6 years there ! Thank you 🙏

So it’s not a private school he will attend for 6 years and then we will choose a secondary, there is two classes for each form, and each class has 24 children so I. His year it would be 48 kids, they have a nice size hall which they use for drama and music but the outdoor sport area does look limited however he does attend sports twice a week at an athletic club and he does futsal once a week, he loves sports and I think that’s a main reason why I feel like this smaller school was maybe the wrong choice as the other school is very sport centered. With bullying it happens everywhere but I thought maybe with a bigger school it’s easier to go unnoticed but maybe that’s just my thought ! Ahhhh I don’t know !

Two classes of 24 is not a small school op. Two form entry with slightly smaller class sizes than usual sounds great
