    Its not clear from what you have written whether your son has a statement or not and any advice people may give will vary depending on whether or not he has a statement.

    I would write a letter (or send an email - as long as its in writing) to the Head of the school asking her/him to give written reasons for the proposed move.  I would also write that your son is currently very happy in his class and is likely to become very stressed if he is moved, so you need the school to be very clear about the impact of any move and how they propose to minimise potential disruption and stress.

    Its difficult to know what else to do until you know why they are proposing moving him - there may be a perfectly legitimate reason for it, although if there is a legitimate reason, the school's communication about it so far has left a lot to be desired :(

    Whether or not your son has a statement, I'd definitely get your Parent Partnership Officer involved.  What local authority area are you in?
