HI, we are moving from Italy to Oxford in july and we need advice about schools and the place to rent a hause. Our children are 5, 4 and 1 month. At the moment, they don?t speak english at all. We suppose it would be best to choose and contact a school, and if they were to accept the children we would then look for accomodation in the area. We would like the two children to attend the same school, so probabily we have to look for a primary with nursery. Ideally, a "child-friendly" area, with families, parks, a good children center and other facilities for children would be the first choice. At the moment I?m on maternity leave but I?m a very active person so I need to stay at walking distance to a lively area. I have the feeling that Cowley might be ok for us but we have never been to Oxford and all the ideas we have about areas come from the internet. My housband is going to work at the Headington Hospital but communting will not represent a problem. I would appreciate advice about the following schools and their surroundings : Larkrise Primary, Cutteslow. All the schools with nursery around Headington are in Marston, is that a nice place? !!!!! Last but not least, our budget is around 1500-1800 pounds pcm for 3 bedrooms and a small garden.
Thank you for your help
