I'll be relocating to London with my husband and two children (daughter, 4, currently in preschool and son, 7, currently in first grade) in January.
We've been researching schools online and there's a lot to take in. I'm hoping any fellow American expats on here can give me a bit of advice.
My son is a bit sensitive and struggling with reading (we have a tutor helping). A lot of the British schools look very academically rigorous, and I'm not sure that would necessarily be a good fit for him. I'm also worried about if we can even get him in to most schools mid-year.
We were looking at international schools and Southbank piqued my interest, but then I read that story from last year and must admit it was very off-putting. The American International School looks great, but I hear it's very oversubscribed.
If any expats on here have any thoughts on schools that you would recommend, I would love to hear it. I've read so many school websites that I'm honestly having a difficult time sorting through it all.
Thank you very much and apologies for the very open-ended question. My head is spinning.
