If you're not happy with the Y1 class your child has been allocated what can you do?

Just anticipating / curious. Dd's in Reception and we get the Y1 class lists next week. What kind of rights / reasons would there be for requesting a change?

In our 2-form entry school, the children will be jumbled at some point in KS1 (usually after reception) and only after that if imbalances have evolved with kids leaving and arriving. There needs to be a balance of gender, ability, SN, behaviour, friendship groups etc..
But rest assured, whenever it happens, the Head is inundated with parents, unhappy because their DC is not where they want them to be.

My son is in year 2 and in September the 3 year groups are being reorganised. I requested that the child who has bullied mine for the last 2 years not be in his class. They aren't.

I asked when we get our lists (dd also goes into y1) and was told the last day of term so obv no chance to say anything then! - i did make a point last time i was told off about my dd and her 'freinds' disruptive behaviour with her mum that i would prefer if she was split from her 'best mate' as her best mate likes to strangle my dd/ wipe snot on her etc.. - my dd said she wants to still play with her because she is pretty

She can still play with her - at break. If the teacher has mentioned disruptinve behaviour from the two of them, chances are they will already have been split. Not sure if that's what you want or not.....?

Yes it is - i dont mind playing at playtime but dont want them to be a pita together in class time . The teacher said the love each other but tire when with each other all day so maybe some distance would help even things out ....

4under5 - the same thing happened to my dd in year 3. I managed to get her swopped though.

We get our new class lists tomorrow evening. I hope dd has a nice teacher and a few people she's familiar with. That's all. Wish us luck!
