Navigating difficult scenarios

Hey, having subjects you were excited about suddenly taken away can make this feel like a huge decision 💛

It makes total sense that you’re sad, especially when Latin, sociology and music were subjects you really wanted to explore.

Before deciding whether to move, you could ask your teachers or head of year whether the options might change later, or whether there are other languages or creative subjects you might enjoy.

You could also look at nearby schools that offer those subjects, then write down the pros and cons of staying or leaving, including everything you love about your current school.

Talking it through with a parent or trusted adult and your teachers could help you work out which option feels best for you 🫶

Missing out on these subjects wouldn’t ruin your future, as there can still be other routes towards the things you care about.

Whatever happens, your interests still matter, so keep speaking up about what you want ✨

Hope this helps 💕
