Hello, My family is moving to London from Singapore this summer. I have 2 kids: daughter (age 13) and son (age 9), both currently in American IB school. Work will be near Canary Wharf, so looking for schools that are not too far from there as we plan to live close to the school.
Getting into State schools seems hard as it depends on catchment area, and one needs to be there and there are long waiting list. So decided on Private, but looks like private schools are also hard to get into as they dont always have openings. That kind of narrowed it down to IB, also since I felt that a change to the british system so late in the game atleast for my daughter who is entering high school next year would be tough.
Now with IB - we are looking at ISL (gunnersbury) and ICS (Star Street). Prefer to keep both kids in the same school, so tilting towards ISL.
Wanted to get your thoughts on these schools - ISL vs ICS?
What areas would you recommend to live?
Would that be an OK commute to Canary Wharf?
Any other schools you recommend?
Thank you!
