Could anyone help me with details of closest school to Motor City? British curriculum, available seats. Child will be 4 at end of Sept 2011, foundation 2 I think?! Also any info on school fees for a child of this age would be helpful. Thanks!

You can cross Repton off, no available places. School fees vary hugely. FS1 at Repton is around 42k a year I think. Jebel Ali Primary School is about a 15 minute drive (I think) from Motor City and british curriculum. Not sure if they have places but I don't think it's waiting list is as bad as some other schools in the area. I've heard good things about it. http://www.jebelalischool.org/index.php

As the crow flies Dubai British School is apparently the closest.

Children generally need to have turned 4 by the beginning of Sept or at the latest by around the 15th Sept to start in FS2. Younger than this and it would be FS1. Going with the younger year group is often no bad thing. Those who are the youngest in the year group often struggle, particularly some boys. JESS in AR is the closest but has no spaces available. There is a general shortage of school places in the early years. Other schools would be Regent International in the Greens, Repton or a new Wellington school in Silicon Oasis.
