Help! I need a 6th Form School/College in the Folkestone/Ashford area

Hi, we've been living in New Zealand for the last 12 years but my Husband has been headhunted and we are returning back to the UK in 4 weeks!!!

I'm sooo excited, but also getting pretty stressed as I need to find schools for my 6 year old and 16 year old before the schools break up for the summer break, so that they can start the new term in September.

We will be staying with my parents in Folkestone until we can find a place to rent. So with that in mind I was thinking of Sandgate Primary for my Son, and Folkestone School for Girls for my Daughter. However, my Daughter is keen on studying law and psychology but the school tells me they are no longer offering those subjects at 6th Form/A Level. So, can anyone recommend another good school or a 6th Form college close by?

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :-)

Norton Knatchbull in Ashford take girls in 6th form. On their website they offer both subjects at A level. Also look at Highworth In Ashford .
