Hi, if you like both, if I were you I'd choose the closest to your house. There isn't really a lot of difference between facilities and resources and you really won't be able to tell how happy your child is untill they start there, as it can often come down to individual teachers. After school activities etc will also change every year as there are always a high number of new teachers starting in September.

As for the start of term in September, most schools are not willing to open late (after ramamdan) as they will have to increase the school days in some way (e.g. one day weekend). Good luck
