Emily has been going to The Mount school since September and i have hated every minute of it. I choose the school by mistake working on old recomendations and had no idea what i was letting her in for.
The school is right at the top of a hill, is falling into dis-repair, there is no security or closed gates and they shove them out to play in all weathers with or without a coat. She has been bullied and chased by big boys playing monsters and has come home countless times with nasty injuries to her knees and hands. (She has also started having nightmares about being chased)
She has only had 65% attendance in this time as she has been really ill with coughs colds and ear infections which i dont believe has been helped by the play time situation.
I have been looking round and trying to get her into a better school since pretty much day one and found my ideal choice at South Parade Ossett but unfortunatly the have a waiting list of 6 children so i lowered my standards slightly and managed to get her a place at Kirkhamgate Primary.
Its a bit more of a commute on a morning but it will be worth it. She is very sad to be leaving her friends behind, especially Holly but she is taking the move very well and is looking forward to her first school trip with them on Wednesday to the Theatre to see Annie!
Im a little nervous for her for her first day tomorrow, i just hope iv made the right decision!
