moving schools in year 13??

i hate school. i’ve been at the same school since year 7 and ive mostly really enjoyed it until this april when my friend group fell apart due to circumstances out of our control. As a result of this, a few of my friends joined a different friendgroup (one moved schools because she’s autistic and couldn’t get the right support here) and two have just stayed friends by themselves. I have nothing in common with the two other than the fact that we were in the same friendgroup. I’ve been trying to join the friendgroup that my other friends have joined however they seem to ignore me and push me to the side, i spoke to a pastoral teacher about it and he asked them to include me about two weeks ago but it still isn’t really getting better. i absolutely despise coming to school, i dread every second. I’ve been coming home feeling utterly demotivated, depressed, drained and lonely.

My grades are slipping due to the fact that I hate school so much so don’t see the point and the fact that I have no energy when I get home.

I’ve been considering exploring the idea of moving to the other local sixth, its two buses way whereas my current one is walking distance from my house. i already have 2/3 friends there from a club i do outside of school (they are in year 12) and this sixth form does the same subjects as i do with the same exam boards, it’s slightly smaller but their performance is pretty much the same.

It’s not like i’ve got no friends at all, I do a team sport and a cadet club and spend about 15 hours at these combined each week, I’ve met my best friends through these clubs. I just have no friends to spend time with at school and i’m a very social person so am really struggling with this lack of group around me.

on one hand i’m tempted just to get my head down and work, spend all my frees in the library etc but i tried that and it was so depressing. there is only 9months of school left so i don’t know if moving at this stage would just totally mess up everything. my teacher said to come back to him if it didn’t get better but i don’t think i’ve given it long enough.
