Thanks a lot in advance ! Really, if you take time to answer me, it would be really hepful.

Kind regards

Thanks a lot.
We know the french schools.
But we would like to take advantage of this expatriation to place our children in an english / international school.
We know that non native english speakers don't have a lot of chance to be accepted in most of the schools.
That's why we are looking for your support, in order to know in which school we can have a chance to have our children accepted.


Thanks in advance
King regards

There is a Japanese girl in my daughter's class who has very very little English.
Another Japanese boy apparently translates everything for her. I'm sure she'll catch up!
I think she has English lessons too.

It is GEMS Wellington Primary.

It seems to be a very good school. .

Our children will be 7.5 and 9.5 next year.
They will follow english lessons as of next week, we hope this will help for the tests ...

she is year 4. She'll be 8 in November.
Because you have a 9.5 year old, you might want to try GEMS Wellington Academy, as GEMS Wellington Primary is just a Primary.

I'm sure they have the same sort of entry criteria
