Sorry for HUGE thread title!
How did it affect you? Was it a good or a bad thing.
Basically I split up from ex last year and we had to move so dd 4 and a half months into reception changed schools. This was the only place we could get at the time and its awful, very rough school and very poor achieving school but more than that the communication from school - home is appalling and I feel if ive had problems they havent listened.
An example of the school dd is at is a child was stoned in the playground by a group of fellow pupils for telling the teacher another child had been bullying her and all the school did was say "oh if you do stuff like that you will get in lots of trouble, now go away!" No bringing parents in or anything else.
Fast forward a year. I have just been informed that a child has moved areas and there is a place for dd in the school that me and dd both loved when we looked around. Fantastic facilities, outstanding ofsted, family assemblies each week, gardening club, lots of parent involvement etc.
Im not sure what to do for the best, dd cries that she doesnt want to go to school the next day and that she hates it but then when I suggest moving says she doesnt want to leave her friend.
