doesn't want to go to school

My 5 1/2 year old all of a sudden doesn't want to go to school, he is experiencing anxiety, and panics. What could be some reasons for the sudden change.

no nothing new at home, he likes his school and teachers. Hasn't really made any friends, a little bully problem which as been addressed and taken care of. He will try anything to not go to school. The school is currently working with me. Once we get him to school and he calms down, he goes to class and is perfectly fine like nothing occured.

well has anything new happened at home like a new sibling or move , does he get on well with the teachers at school, has hes friends in school.it seems something has happened to upset him , think about any change that would cause him to feel like this. Give him plenty of love and reassurance , speak to his teacher and ask if she has observed anything ..good luck
