Reason for primary move?!

[tangerinedream12]

Give me your reasons on why you would move your children primary schools?

House move.

Either I’d moved or I wasn’t happy with the school. Why?

I moved due to bullying with one child

Due to lack of SEN provision

Also due to a move

Well what do you think would be good reasons?

Also maybe add the word please. Your post is very abrupt.

Once for a house move then once for bullying that the school was in denial of.

I moved one child before they were doing poorly academically and the school failed to notify me let alone step in.

The other was moved to get into their choice of secondary.

My reasons are the area of the school my son is in has really gone downhill in recent years. This is reflected in the children and parents at the school My son is in year 1 currently. There is a large number of boys in year 1 who are all getting up to no good and I fear this will only get worse as they get older. There’s lots of fighting and boisterous play going on at playtimes etc. parents are only finding things out from children and other parents. there is a massive lack of communication from the school. They seem to down play a lot of things that are going on. Also a high volume of staff turn over, and headteacher resigned last year. Currently the deputy head has stepped in. Would you move your child because of this? There is a smaller Church of England school in the next village on which has a lot less behavioural issues, however academically it is beneath the current school. Thoughts please

You've posted at least two other threads on the same topic this month?

I’m aware!

Ok so I'm not sure why the help from this thread would be any more useful to you than those who replied to your previous threads? At some point surely you just have to make a choice?

Does the smaller school even have space? All schools round our way are massively oversubscribed. If your child is in year one, how quickly has it gone downhill? If your child isn’t involved, you won’t how the school are dealing with it.

I chose my daughter's school for small class sizes and in most ways I absolutely love the school. However, they have started mixing Years 3,4 and 5 into 2 year groups instead of three. I don't like mixed age classes and I definitely don't like that she'll be going from a class of 18 to 30+, and even worse, in Y4 she will either be separated from her summer born friends in the Y4/5 group or held back in the mixed Y3/4 class (she's right in the middle so could go either way). I will give it a chance but if it's not working out for her I might start considering alternatives.

Poor/non existant SEN Support and DC1 falling further and further behind.

New Headteacher joined and communication went downhill.

The final kicker was when I went on a school tour of the school DC1 was at for DC2. The headteacher was new so I wanted to see if she could turn the school around. She had never met DC2 or seen any his professional reports but make it clear she didn’t want DC there and told me to send him to special school. DC2 goes to an neighbouring school and is a bright little bean.

We moved our son because the school completely failed to safeguard the entire class from another child's aggression because it was a staff members child.
