Hello Mumsnetters,
I would really appreciate your thoughts.
It is looking more and more likely we will be returning prematurely to Oxford next summer.
Our family is currently located in the US currently on a work secondment with my husbands employer.
In a less than ideal scenario our DD will be 15, her peers will be smack dab in the middle of the GCSE pathway, therefore I am already looking at alternative options for her via an educational consultant.
Our DS will be 13 and would be going into Yr 9 in September. He has not settled atall in the US, and is absolutely desperate to go home to England.
I am a nurse and intend to work at the JR. OH works in Didcot and he plans to take the train.
Our plan is to rent a house in Oxford. We know exactly what the traffic is like around Oxford, and we plan to avoid it as much as possible. We used to commute in from Faringdon, and as much as we loved it the commuting was horrible.
One of the things we struggle with most here in the US is the fact we have to drive everywhere. The DC's miss their fledgling independence; walking to school, visiting friends, going to Costa ....very much.
Headington seems like an obvious choice because of it's proximity to the JR. However, with no experience of living in either, I love Summertown and Jericho.
Your thoughts will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance
