Hello I am new to the forum and hopefully new to the uk soon. My hubby and I are considering a transfer to the UK (specifically Canterbury). When we arrive my kids would be 5 and 7. I have many questions and I thought maybe someone here could help me!
Here in Canada my youngest would start Kindergarten (year one) in September. Is this the same there? Does the school year also start in early September? Do "year one" children go for the same amount of hours as the bigger kids or do 1/2 days?
99% of kids in Canada go to government run, free schools, but it seems paid schools are more common over there, is that true? Is there a website for the city/ govt run schools? am I totally off base?
I am baffled by what I am finding online and need help (:
