Hi ya. My name is Gary Lockwood. We have been thinking of and planning a move to Egypt for over a year, (Sharm) . We went to our chosen school one day and the children were invited to spend the day there as pupils to see what it what like. Bearing in mind they were on holiday and under no pressure or obligation, they agreed and went and loved it. All nationalities were there and they all looked out for the new kids and smothered them with affection and friendship. This made us feel great and our research gathered speed and we coul not wait to get there. We haven't moved yet, problems in UK, but intend to go in summer for a new school term and fresh start. We have encountered a few problems with curriculum and lack of numbers preventing the school extending etc. We may take a look at the British school in El Gouna before we commit to a long term move because they seem to have everything sewn up for expat kids and long term study. I will share any info we have with you if you need it. Best wishes, Gary
