A change of school is not always in the child's best interests. However, if it cannot be avoided, and you live locally, you are strongly advised not to remove your child from his or her current school until you have secured an alternative school place.
As there can be delays in securing alternative secondary school places, it is best that your child continue to attend their current school while you arrange the transfer to avoid losing any education.
