If you are considering changing schools, fully consider the negative and positive aspects of such a decision. In this case, do not ignore that the child\’s wishes are paramount. A student who comes to a new team that is already functioning in some way is always in a difficult position. [they] must not only adjust to the new environment of the school, but also to new classmates, new teachers, and new school situations. In addition, with each school having its own curriculum today ,your child may find himself or herself in a situation where he or she misses material that was put on the back burner at the previous school. In that case, it is up to you to manage this situation with your child and make up the missed material as soon as possible and in the best possible way. So, as the legal guardian of your child, please consider this situation carefully.

What is the procedure in case of a school transfer?
If you have already decided to transfer, you may want to contact the new school and arrange a meeting to discuss everything you need to know in person. If necessary, arrange a tour of the school with your child. Determine whether the new school will meet your expectations. Equally important is whether the school has the capacity to accommodate the new student. Then, submit a transfer request and, if the head teacher approves it, immediately inform the head teacher of the new school. This is because the new school is obligated to send the necessary documents concerning the student to the school to which he/she is transferring.
