We are planning a relocation to a small town 2hrs drive away. My soon to be 15yo daughter is happy to move schools between yr 10 and 11. She is doing well in her GCSEs so far, she has dyscalculia, but gets support. However, she is virtually friendless. She is very quiet, reserved & shy. We encourage her to ask friends round etc, she swims at a club and is 'friendly' with a couple of girls, but has not yet found her niche friendswise. For example: she inists there is no one she wants to invite to her birthday next week. We would be willing to wait until she has done her GCSEs, but she is adament she wants to move in the summer. She talks of it as a re-invention opportunity. She is not unhappy at school, just not part of any group, or have a best friend. She knows we would put her GCSEs first and it is clear she is not trying to please us by agreeing to move. Does anyone have any thoughts? I am fully aware of what can happen if a child is moved unwillingly in the middle of GCSEs, but my daughter is all for the move.
