Relocating from NYC to London - ASL or UK schools?

Hello,

We may be relocating from NY to London for work - not confirmed yet. One of the factors that worries me is education. Our 6 year-old DD is at a top private / independent school in NYC and we’re delighted with it. I feel she just went through kindergarten admissions and now we may need to restart it all, which is daunting to say the least.

I’m curious to hear from folks who may have done or know of others who’ve gone through similar moves. What would DD’s options be in London, only ASL (American School in London) or do Americans also take their kids to UK schools? How is ASL regarded academically? Would she have any chances of getting into one of the top girl prep schools at the age of 6 (year 2) or, given it’s not an entry point, that door is closed? Are there any Americans in those schools (eg Glendower, KP)?

I’m so very confused — would appreciate any insights.

Thank you!

We are also planning to relocate from NYC to London in 2027. My elder son would be in Grade 3/Year 4. Trying to understand which IB school would work best, husband's office is in Bishopgate area, London city.
