We are moving to Dubai - please help with secondary schooling and areas to live.

we are moving for sept 26 so my kids can start a new secondary school year 7. Can i have personal feedback on the schools, good and bad and any tips please?

They are currently in an academic school and I know it’s different there.
I am looking for schools with small class sizes and all round good schools. Budget is wide.
once we choose the school, we can then focus on area and look to find a house.

Look at schools compared and which school advisor websites to identify UK curriculum schools in your budget range. It's a very multicultural community and 80+ nationalities in one school is common so don't expect to find your kids in a school with mostly British kids (and lots of the ones that are British are born in the UAE and have spent little time in the UK).
