My daughter is about to go in to year 8 in a Secondary school in Stockport, but she has had a horrible first year there, it started with friendship group drama that has progressed to actively being bullied through the school holidays. It is making her and the whole family miserable and is heart breaking.
I fully intend to communicate with the school about the ongoing issues but we are also looking at moving schools.
We are open to moving area and have been looking at lots of different schools around stockport/Cheshire but information is often mixed and outdated. Some schools are Ofsted outstanding but parents and children say it’s a miserable environment, others have terrible Ofsted, it’s so hard to judge and although her education is important to us we ultimately just want a happy child! We also have a younger child still in primary so any decision we make will impact his future too.
Schools we have looked at include Laurus Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme High School, Wilmslow, Hazel Grove, Marple Hall, Werneth Low high school, Harrytown RC high school (we’re not religious but open to anywhere that’s open to us)…….
I also appreciate that just finding a school that sounds ok doesn’t mean we will manage to get her in there!
If anyone has any experience of any of these schools or any others in and around the area I would be really grateful to hear about it…..
