Actually I now realise what I am nervous of, it is where the friends end up going, although I've been told by everyone that they make new friends so it'll be alright, so need to clear my head and let it happen and stop being so nervous! Gin anyone?

Just to reassure you, they do make new friends. A year ago DS1 was the only one from his school to go to a GS, so he knew no one when he started. The majority of his friends went to the local comp, but unlike you, we (and he), didn't like it. It took a little settling in as he's not the most outgoing of people, but he now has a good circle of friends and is thriving.

If you think about your own life, how many of your Primary School friends do you still have? The majority of friends in adult life come from your later years, so don't be worried about going to different schools. If they are that good a friend they will find a way of remaining in touch anyway.

All the best, and try to relax
