Hi to the Ladies who replied / interested in this post ... I am looking for your feedback on this school as now the year has started,,, and things are getting underway ...I have my children over there ... and frankly I see that the FS classes are a bit more crowded than I expected ,,,one teacher per 23-24 kids with an assitant who is not much of a teaching assistant but more of a school nanny ,,, and they also have a rather rigid very structured Time Table format for these FS classes ... whereas I see at that age especially FS1 should be more about play, enjoyment and LOVING going to school everyday,,,, I dont wnat my child to start hating education because he / she hates going to school ... and I see this happening a lot ... also coupled with their long hours from 8 to 2 and then the bus commute ,,, I have voiced these concerns to the school managment a lot ... but I dont see that it is getting anywhere ,,, so I am seeking other mums' opinions /experinces on this ,,, as I dont like to feel that I am only paranoid :-) and just another over- concerned parent .... Frankly though I see that their style of education at the FS stage is a bit daunting for children at that age ... for older classes and primary sections .. I am ok about it ... it is just FS that I am concerned about .... hope to get some feedback and advice .. will be much apprecaited :-)

Ladies ... Good Morning :-) Thank you very much for the advice Sarhanne and bodabz .. i knew I wil get lovely feedback here :-) ... I will defenitly take your advice Sarahanne, much apprecaited and will also look into the terrace appartments too .... I have actually posed this question because on Dubizzle two weeks ago I've seen one T house for 165 and another for 160 .. so that is why I got some hope that maybe in 2 months time when everybody is settled and so on that we can get something around the 150 mark ... but bodabz experience makes me wonder ... especially if there is a waiting list for GCE ;-) ... I do appreciate more advice on this and will update this thread whenever I have more developments especially as bodabz and me seem to be in the same situation ;-) ... thank you ladies and have a great day ...
