Have DD and DS, 8 and 10, and moving back for DH's job relocation. Originally from London. Problem is, schools. Our DD enters senior school 2017, and places already are allocated at most private schools. Whats makes it harder, is she isn't that great at maths, and so many of the selective schools are going to be out! Shes fine at other subjects, average at maths.
I have called maybe 10-15 schools, and all the same message, "we are full", or "we examine all girls take top 15%".
Does anyone know of any schools that could have places, co-ed an advantage, but really at this point, not fussed. Looking at guildford, essex, redhill...various....argh.
If the school is close to a suburb commutable to canary wharf within 1hr15, that would be excellent!
Looking at state schools also, good ones. There is all about being in right catchment for september.
Moving to UK from aus is much harder than other way. Here, everywhere seems to have places.
