Kate: i reckon you will feel it more than your daughter as in kids even the shyest (spelling) they adapt and the teachers are there to help with the new transition!

When would you need to move?

If you could hold off till next term which is next year well then it would be easier again ...

I personally have been through this with my kids but i take the emotion out of it and do what makes me happy and in the long term will benefit my kids....( i packed up and left an abusive husband) i and now im in my second house in 18 months and am seriously thinking about the 3rd and final move as my oldest starts yr 7 and then i have a 4 and 2 yr old...in early 2013 want to move back to Cheltenham where i lived for 7 yrs before i was married....

I hope that helps
