I'm moving to Dubai with my two boys in Jan/Feb 2012. Can you enroll children in school during the middle of a school term, or do they have to wait until the start of a term? Also, I'm abit confused with the british schooling system. Can someone please tell me what year my children will be enrolled in. My 2yr old turns 3 on 26th August and I have a 4yr old who turns 5 in May.

It would probably pay you to get onto schools asap. the early foundation years can be the hardest spots to get. Whether the school of choice has a place for the children will then depend on if the kids can start in the Jan term. Your little one would probably start fs1 in September anyway, but if you are working you can always pop him into nursery in the mean time. I can never quite get my head round the age cut offs etc, but the older child will either be fs2 or yr1 by september.
