please, please post away ... all useful information. I'll heed advice to apply to several And make a few phone calls tomorrow... How do I know which are community schools, and which are embassy sponsored? Or I guess that doesn't matter at this point. I'll just concentrate on applying. Thanks lalala, kimmc3 and whereintheworld

Thanks - all very helpful replies. I have children who will be in Year 1, Year 3 and Year 5 from Sept 2014 My aim (don't laugh) is to get the elder two in for Sept 2014 and home school the younger for the year, as I expect it will be impossible to get an infant place. Worse case - Sept 2015 for all of them, but I'm prepared for that. I'll be phoning around soon because I'm not completely clear on when kids can take assessments - anytime? or at certain set times, and I presume this has to be onsite. ...assuming we get that far. The other issue is I'm not sure when to tell our current school, because I don't want the kids to be in limbo or the teachers not knowing if they are coming or going. I'll wait until I have a definite timescale I think.

Great - that's helpful, thanks I haven't applied yet for schools.. waiting until the offices open again on Sunday... it's going to be a long haul, but I'll persevere. I think I'll apply to 3 or 4, so wish me luck.. I'm going to need it. <em>edited by garbie on 23/04/2014</em>
