Thanx, from what I gather Cambridge both mbz and baniyas are british curriculum schools, and thats what we are after. There are private schools here in UK which are run by Gems education and they have a good record, infact we have one locally, might ask them a few questions too. You are right we need to make enquiries locally, my husband will be going before us so all your advice will be very useful. We have emailed but no response and same with phone, cannot get through. Cannot thank you enough for your help.

thanx once again, a compound sounds better, specially in the beginning to make friends and get to know people. I was searching and came across Cambridge International School Baniyas (Gems), opening 2013, it was suppose to open this year but apparently some issue with buildings. Is there any news about that? and geographically I see Baniyas (the area not school) at the lower right of MBZ on google maps, have I got the right area?

thanx for your reply, much appreciated. We did check bisad but unfortunately its not in our budget (35000 aed per child), these were the only options we found on the internet. Property prices also look reasonable off island, so wanted to plan things all in one place. Do you have any other suggestions for british schools?? Thanks once again.

Hi all, I am new to this site and forum. We are moving to Abu Dhabi from UK next month and looking for schools for our two children ( reception and year 4). Does anyone have any feedback regarding Belvedere and Cambridge High school. Also is MBZ city a good place to live? Looking forward to your views, regards.
