Help!
I cannot decide if I am about to make a massive cockup.
My DS (reception age ) is very shy . It has taken him all year to be at a normal level and play happily with his peers. He is doing well academically ( just above average I expect ) I am happy with this side of school.
He tells me he sometimes has no one to play with at break but then I usually find out he does find someone at the end.
My dilemma is due to DH working in an independent school we can get DS fees massively reduced and he could go to the same school with a single class of 10.
DS has had a trial day and as he was so shy ( didn't speak or look at anyone ) came home and basically said he really doesn't want to leave current school.
He is 5 and I know cannot make informed decisions but I am stressing that will he have enough of a social mix with 10 kids , will it bring him out of his shyness or will it make it worse?
The main reason to move him would be so he doesn't get lost in a crowd , will be more confident to talk with only 9 others listening and not 21 etc etc
Sorry for long post as you can feel I am stressed and have days to make our decision
