Anxiety and secondary school ? Change schools?

Hello I have 2 boys one age 14 and one age 12. My eldest had bullying issues and changed school to a local boys school and Ian so much happier . Now my 12 year old is suffering from anxiety and is missing a lot of school this term . He is socially anxious and worries a lot. He was never like this in primary school . I have him on the waitlist for the boys school (local to us) . It’s an amazing school they offer so much. My son knows some people from rugby at the school . He has dropped rugby as he says he doesn’t enjoy it anymore. He has some friends at his school which is on the other side of town . His best friend is on the waitlist for the boys schools as well . They both have sibling links. I took him to the doctor and will ring our health insurance provider about seeing a counselor . He is very stubborn and resists going into school . Do you think a fresh start at a different school where his brother is would be beneficial? They could walk together . Thank you

Yes it sounds like a move would be a good thing if he can get in
