Greetings all!
My apologies in advance for my lack of knowledge on the subject. We are Americans and will be moving to the UK in late 2017. We have the option of living anywhere there, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
We are searching for cities that have good schools that are not oversubscribed. We also prefer Christian faith (state?) schools if this is possible, Catholic, C of E, etc, all of which would be fine. We prefer to have prayer included in school as well as mass or service, but again, I am not sure how this works over there. Here in the US, we have to pay for a Christian (private) school. I understand religion is taught in most if not all schools within the UK...?
Also, we will be without a vehicle, for the safety of mankind :) So any place that has good transport, buses are fine, and/or walking distance to schools, shops, etc. Nothing rural. (Have I eliminated all choices here? :) Scotland, Wales, England, we are open to all. We would just like to be able for our children to attend a school where the student:teacher ratio isn't astronomical and where we don't have to fight for a spot just to attend. Thank you so much!!
