My twins boy/ girl have started primary school. It’s a one form entry school very close to our house. I am really worried to the point I’m not sleeping. There are lots of lovely boys in the class and my son has already made lots of friends however there aren’t many girls and I can’t see any that my girl would gel with. I don’t know what to do. I’m wondering if I should move them but then I feel bad for my son. But I don’t know many friends with girls
so so I was really hoping to find some people at school. So sad,

The children my daughter is best friends with now (year 6) are certainly not the ones I expected her to be friends with in reception. Her two closest friends moved away, and the ones that gelled well to start with have branched off into smaller, closer groups, and my daughter is currently really good friends with a couple of kids she rarely played with in the first few years. So many kids have moved, and joined, and the friendships are very fluid during the early years. We're in a selective grammar area, DD didn't want to do the test (she easily could have) so she will be going to our local state, with probably 40% of her class. Only a handful of them are from the original reception intake. I really wouldn't worry, they've barely had chance to even settle into the routine of school, and uprootimg your other 2 because of what is probably a non issue, seems a bit over the top.
