Child new class not great at all - could I approach head to change it?

[regretnot]

Hello!

my DC’s class has just been announced, I never got on with the teacher, she was never warm or welcoming to us I literally have no idea why as put my best foot forward.. I don’t think she was too great with my DC either.. very hostile would turn away little interaction..

my DC has been placed in a new class where knows one child only.. and the 3 others moving across from current class with no play/interaction at all..

also one of the kids is moving across with (in current class going into the new) has bitten my child and been aggressive in the past, very bossy/physical..

I feel like the teacher has put him in this class on purpose.. he won’t thrive, I can see it..

what shall I do?

speak to the head teacher?

Take a deep breath OP. Borrow your own adult brain for a minute.

Your child is going to be okay. The Head will not move a child on that basis. There will be many other decisions being made about staff and pupils. Your best bet is to model thriving to your child. Model making the best of everything.

By all means speak to the head. Why not? Don't go in with the teacher bashing though, just go in with authentic concern for your child. HT will listen, empathise and explain decision which may reassure you.
