Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 It may help if you let us know the months they were born Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy1 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 If your child turned 13 before June 30th, then right now he/she will be in year 8 in high school. If he/she turned 13 after June 30th, then he/she will be in year 7 in primary school. Use the same formula for your 15 year old. Government schools take their students from catchment areas and it is entirely up to the discretion of the school whether they can or wish to take a child outside of the catchment.

fifi69 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 My only advice would be research research research . It's a horrible time for kids to move. I've known four families have to go back to the UK cos their teens haven't settled. School here can be just as bad for drugs, drink, pregancies etc if not worse.

It is a tough time to move, however, it would be wrong to say that schools are worse here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy1 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Not saying they are worse, just the same!! You actually said 'if not worse'. I just wanted to reassure the OP that there are some great schools here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's why I said research research research cos there is plenty **** schools aswell as good ones . Tough luck if you don't dont do yyou research and end up with a bad school. also paying for private doesnt always mean better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
