Year 9 Friendships

My DD year 9 hasn’t had a great year with friendships. Whilst she has people to sit with at lunchtime etc, this doesn’t extend to outside school. So for example these girls meet up and then don’t invite her to join them. She finds this difficult as naturally she feels left out and would love to be a part of the group.

She has indicated that she is going to find this difficult if this continues until gcse year. So my question is do I just leave things and hope it gets better or do I look to move her to another school? She’s in a private school currently so we’d have to give notice and try to secure a place in year 10.

I think yr10 is a game changer as they drop subjects and take only ones they like. Ours is a very big school with vast options which means a chance to start again making new friends again as you end up in new classes with kids of similar interests
