Should I move my children

We are currently at a one form entry school very close to home. My two boys are easy going and although haven’t got close friends are happy enough being friendly with everyone. My daughter is very shy and takes her a while. Unfortunately she is in a boy heavy year and the girls that are there are not really her cup of tea. Do I move them all to a bigger school that’s a short car ride away? It may help them get used to secondary school? My daughter still has six years of primary school left and I want her to have friends.

No way. She's not found her groove yet, but I wouldn't drag all them away from a school that they don't have issues at to somewhere you have to drive to and try and start over. Friendships change all the time, children grow and mature.

Is your daughter in reception or year 1?

How long has your daughter been at the school? How the boys feel about moving?

What's the boy/girl split in terms of numbers?
