DS is in yr7 and isn't very happy. He finds it difficult to express how he feels but often seems miserable in the mornings.
He's mixed race and at a predominantly white school. He has started saying that people are "being racist" but can't say exactly how. He says that he's not been called names but that comments are made that he looks like xxx (but he says he doesn't hear the name). He's really vague about who and when these things are said.
His school isn't our local one but our 2 dds happily attend. He's one of 3 who moved there from his old primary.
Our much larger catchment school (where 90% of his primary went) have places, and I'm seriously thinking of moving him. However, we've not asked him outright yet (we want to meet the school first) but comments he's made make me think he wouldn't be keen on moving either.
He's very emotionally immature and I have wondered for some time if he has additional needs, however no school has picked up on anything.
Anyway, what I'm wondering is if anyone has done this partway through yr 7 and how it went? I'm thinking it's now or never really!
