School anxiety

I know I'm going to sound really silly here, but I often feel anxious about doing the school run. It's not about the other parents it's about the teachers and staff in school. I need to explain that my children have a safeguarding folder in school and a court order stating that their father can not collect them from school. I know outside agencies have spoken to the school (with my permission). That there has been no conserns about my parenting only my ex that I brought to everyone's attention. I really have nothing to feel anxious or worried about. Part of me feels embarrassed and ashamed that the school know my business.
I just feel like "that parent" and to make it worse I over compensate when nervous.
Has anyone else been in this situation or are there any teachers on here who can ease my anxiety.
It's always worse this time of year as I have to deal with a new teacher, I know they will have read the court order and be aware of the safeguarding folder. Just find this so hard.

O bless you thank you. Xxxx yes I may well have a chat to the school. Think it's part of a much bigger picture for me tbh.

People think/want to think that now it's sorted and all the court hearings are over and done with, that's it its pure relief for me. Well it is but the anxiety and worries still there. I work hard at not being an over protective parent. But it's hard. X

It sounds as if the anxiety and worries, if not exactly ruling your life, are definitely spoiling it for you.

Might it help to get some support in dealing with them?
