[quote=Anonymous]My husband is being transferred to London, and while we are all excited about this, I'm feeling overwhelmed figuring out the school situation. We have a 13 year old (7th grade) and a 9 year old (4th grade). Ideally we wouldn't have to take them out of school this year and can wait to move officially at the beginning of July.

We are going to rent for a while, and want to be within an hour's train ride or less to downtown London. Beyond that, those are the parameters for where explore living. We are looking at Surrey, but I have only been to London as a vacationer, so I definitely don't have a great knowledge of which neighborhoods are family friendly. Ideally it would be something like Brookland/16th Street Heights/CCDC, Park Slope NYC, etc. We aren't Knightsbridge/Mayfair money people.

I would love any advice on how to find good schools for the kids. Guessing we'd go with state schools over public (their word for private schools?). Or if you have done this, do you have good recommendations for resources, even people that assist with this (apart from Google). Thank you so much!![/quote]
