Dear all,
First time poster here, but have always read with interest about HE. I have a question for the experts! My son is in reception, and very very happy at his school, but we find ourselves in a bit of a strange position. Because of DH's work, we will have to spend six months here in Oz and six months in England for the next two years.
We are happy about this, and think it will be great for the kids, but we just don't know what to do about school. Do we let DS1 do half the year here and half in the UK?
I fear this would be disruptive and very difficult, also because the school year is of course reversed here (we start in January). I think we would be better off letting him do half the year at his old school and HE for the rest of the time. DH accuses me of having finally found an excuse to HE! ;-)
Do you think this would work? what problems could we face? we don't know anybody where we will be in the UK, so I do worry about social isolation. Any thoughts gratefully received!
