Hi we're moving back to Uk from Italy in a few months time. My kids are DS 4 and DD 5 (5 in January and 6 in November). My 5 year old has just started school here in Italy whilst 4 yr old is at nursery.
We will be living with my mum in Liverpool for the fisrt 6 months at least. The area where she lives doesn't have the best primary schools and also as we will be arriving befpre xmas I'm assuming all the places in the decent schools will have been taken.
I'm also worried as DD is in english schooling a year behind. DS also has mild cerebral palsy although it only effects his walking. Saying that he's still at what would be pre school in UK so we are unaware if he has any learning difficulties at the mo. They are bi lingual, very sociable kids and very bright. They are very close and do play well together.
I'm thinking about home educating at least until September 2009, as hopefully by then we will be in our own house in (crosses fongers) a nice village nr Chester.
I figure this way I will also be able to carry on with the Italian schooling, on the off chance we can return to Italy one day.
So any advice ? What is the situation with the authorities ? Where do I start ??
Thanks !
