Changing Schools

I have just finished my GCSE's.
I am confused whether I should stay in my current state school where I have many friends or should I join a grammar school(gets exceptional results) and make new friends.

new experiences are always good. go to taster days etc, see if you find a grammar school you like. if you go to a new school, you can make new friends while also keeping in touch with old friends

I'd stay where your old friends are. If you've already achieved good results then you should stay.

I was forced to move schools to a new area where I knew no one. I found it very hard as most people were already in their friendship groups and not interested in new people. It made me very depressed, the root cause of why I ended up doing badly at A level.

I have applied and actually got the conditional offer as well. I ll 100% get the grades I need to get in. But I'm just confused whether I should stay in my old school or join the grammar school and focus on my career. This wouldn't of been a problem if i wasn't an introvert :mad:
