To think a move to Jersey would be great?

DH’s employer is considering setting up an office in Jersey and that would mean us moving there - him, me, dc(15) a dog and a cat. It would be next summer after dc’s GCSE’s. I’m a full time student, but remote, so that’s not a problem.

Does anyone have experience of moving to/living on Jersey? We’ve been several times on holiday and loved it, but obviously living there is completely different. Will it be easy to make friends? Are there good places to run? Will dc be welcomed at school to do A levels? What other questions should I be asking?!

Any advice welcome!

I expect dc will go to uni in the uk - but could be hours away from where we live now. I would expect we’ll move back once dc settle down, but that could be another 10-15 years (or at least that’s how it was for me!)

Good point though, that it might feel different to be a ferry trip away

What does DC want to do after a-levels? Are you/they happy to most likely be living a flight or ferry away if they move back for uni or work? I had family in Jersey who loved it but left when their youngest turned 18 and it became clear none of the kids would be moving back to the island.
