Bit of background DD1 is a funny character, very happy in her own company, likes to have friends but not bothered about seeing them outside of school etc.
So she didn't get her first choice of state secondary school, the one she's been offered is completely unacceptable so my plan B was to keep her in the private school she's been attending for the past 2 years.
All fine accept she doesn't want to.
There are a few minor issues, it's a boys school that's recently started accepting girls, so 10 girls in the year, of which some are leaving and 3 different ones are joining in year 7.
She has had some run ins with one particular girl, who nobody seems to like so it's not DD in this particular case but even so DD keeps saying she was looking forward to a fresh start.
I feel like she had a fresh start 2 years ago, how many fresh starts does a person need ?
I like this school, my other 2 children are reasonably happy (I don't think my children are ever going to "like" school), it has a good academic record, the other parents are all very nice.
Would I be wrong to say you are going end of the matter ?
Or should be start looking at other options outside of the area ?
