If you are moving home and have children you may need some advice on moving schools.
Moving home is always a stressful time especially for children who may also have to deal with moving schools and making new friends. The big worry all parents will have is if their child will settle in, make new friends and like their new school. As children spend alot of time at school it is important that they are happy when moving schools.
The application process:
When moving to a new area your child will be eligible for a place at the local school as they will be living in the catchment area. To apply to a local school when moving schools you will need to follow the same application process as you did when your child first started school.

[icon type=”image” icon=”Stationery” size=”24″ ]You cannot predict when you will be offered a place, it may be mid term.
A ‘Moving schools pack‘ is available from the local authority. The pack is designed to help parents support their child as much as possible when moving schools. By collecting together as much information as possible regarding each individual childs achievements and needs. This will help your child to settle in more quickly and start learning at an appropriate level.
How children may react
Some children may not be worried about moving schools where others may show a range of reactions including signs of stress, this can depend on their age. Signs may include:
