Daughter having to change in school making me anxious

Up until now the children wear their pe kit to school but from September they will have to change in school. She’s turning 7 soon and I’ve been teaching her about autonomy and privacy. She knows when she goes anywhere or even grandparents to go in another room and change. I feel like not only will this set her back but possibly be distressing as she doesn’t like to change around anyone. Never mind a whole classroom. I haven’t confirmed if it will be in a classroom but their bathrooms are small so I can’t see any other possibility. I’m wondering what my options are if I expressed my feelings to her teacher

So many commented and shared your own experiences that I thought I’d share a little update. Everything went fine. The boys and girls change in different classrooms and she now loves packing her p.e clothes in her bag the night before. 😂
