Hi we are a family of 3 moving from Iceland to somewhere around Leeds...my husband will be working at the airport, so we are looking at places within easy reach. We don't want the city live, more for the town/community feeling, but not too small, has to have some shops, restaurant and things going on. We have been looking at Harrogate, Horsforth and Headingley. We will be renting in the price range of 800-1000p a month.
My biggest concern is the school system. I´ve been trying to understand it and what to look for, my daughter is 14, (going to Yr10 I guess). I know it´s not the best timing for her to enter the school system and we are also late to apply, but this just came up so we have to make it work.
If I understand it right, there can be a difference between schools regarding academic standard. It´s enough stress for her to change countries and schools, so we are looking for a school less strict...if you get what I mean.
Also what is the difference between grammar, high school and college ?
Are there any international schools in the area ?
All suggestions regarding the towns and schools are appreciated as this is happening very fast !
Thanks :-)
