Yeah, and Cambridge is a great school. You may have to pass the US/State boards though, but I'm pretty sure UK certification is accepted at the US. Certification of shit countries doesn't mean anything in the US. But even mexico doctors could get jobs in the US, so a Cambridge doctor wouldn't have a problem.

Y8 is the same as grade 7, at least here in East Anglia! Our American kids go to a year ahead if they are going into the British system. We have friends whose daughter is in Y3, which is our American 2nd grade. She's going back to the states and is terribly upset that she has to be in 3rd grade in the fall. Poor mom is working on trying to explain that one to her.

Would it be a good idea for an American to attend medical school in the UK?
I am a seventeen year old American very interested in becoming a doctor. I am told medical school is only about 7-8 years in the UK compared to about 11-12 years in the US. I love the thought of saving four years if I attended schooling over seas. Would this be a good idea? If i did go, and became a doctor would i ever have to opportunity to practice medicine in the US after so many years if i desired so? feedback?

Well, first you'd have to get in. One of the reasons the courses in the UK are shorter is that they only take the absolute top academic candidates and the courses are amazingly intense. Plus of course you start on them right away as an undergraduate. No concept of pre-med. It's not normally recommended to qualify in one country if you want to work in another, but it's possible.
All Answers
Answer 1
The UK has top flight medical education, so if you want to study there then go right ahead. If you want to practice in the US you will have to take the State Board exam for the State in which you wish to practice and you will required to show evidence that you have completed your medical education in the UK satisfactorily.

Whats the difference between med school in the US and med school in UK?
Whats the difference between med school in the US and med school in UK?
What are the differences? I'm sorry if I come off sounding like I haven't attempted to do my research... but I'm sort of confused... I heard it sucks doing pre-med in college (harder to get to med). Also, do people still actually have time to unwind and have fun in med school?
Higher Education (University +) - 1 Answers - 2008-07-08 07:42:03
Best Answer
In the US... You must attend a US accredited college or university. During this time you must complete a set of pre-medicine courses. Some schools allow you to just concentrate in pre-medicine, in this case you will not graduate with a degree but just a certificate of completion. Some schools require you to declare a major along with pre-medicine (like my school...). During this time you will apply to medical school and take your MCAT. Medical school is four years and in your third, you will apply for residency programs. Graduating from medical school gives you a Doctor of Medicine (MD). Residency programs range from 2 to 7 years depending on your speciality (neurology, general surgery, etc). For certification, you must complete the residency along with an internship (but this usually combined in your residency program). You will be an attending physician and can practice medicine but will be limited because you must pass a lot of tests that run continuously throughout your career in medicine. In the UK... (I am not entirely familiar with this..sorry :-/) You will apply for medical studies right after your graduate from high school. There are different tests for admission. The UK has a certain application and a certain number of universities that you can apply to, I believe it is four. The tests include United Kingdom Clinical Aptitude Test and BioMedical Admissions Test. If you are an international student, they have limited spots. The BioMedical test is offered in various places in the US and you can find them online. You will graduate with your Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery. You can practice medicine but it is supervised, called the Foundation Programme. You then apply for Foundation Schools which are ranking by your grades in medical school and answers to questions asked during the process. After completing the Foundation Programme...to work as a General Practitioner, you must complete two year of posts in a speciality as a Senior House Officer. There are several exams for promotion and I am not exactly sure how the rest of the system goes but you can look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_education_in_the_United_Kingdom I am a Civil Engineering and pre-medicine student in the United States. Engineering is a difficult major as it is and the two are not that related. It is difficult and I would say...that I probably do not have as much time to unwind as my friends who are not pre-med or who are who have a similar major to pre-med (like biology, biomedical engineering, chemistry). I went to high school in the US and during my 10th year I considered going to a school in the UK but decided not to because I wanted to practice medicine in the US. It is VERY difficult to practice medicine long-term in the US if you did not complete all of your medical education here. You can have temporary visa to practice medicine but if you want to practice long term, you must start your education over. If you decide to get your education here and then work in UK, I am not that familiar with it. I know you would need to get a work visa and it takes a very long time so I hear. (sorry this looks like a lot...but I copied and pasted alot of the UK information)

It is difficult and I would say...that I probably do not have as much time to unwind as my friends who are not pre-med or who are who have a similar major to pre-med (like biology, biomedical engineering, chemistry). I went to high school in the US and during my 10th year I considered going to a school in the UK but decided not to because I wanted to practice medicine in the US. It is VERY difficult to practice medicine long-term in the US if you did not complete all of your medical education here. You can have temporary visa to practice medicine but if you want to practice long term, you must start your education over. If you decide to get your education here and then work in UK, I am not that familiar with it. I know you would need to get a work visa and it takes a very long time so I hear. (sorry this looks like a lot...but I copied and pasted alot of the UK information)

American high school to medical school in the UK?
American high school to medical school in the UK?
I hear that in the UK you can go into medical school as soon as you get out of high school. SO i was wondering if this was true and also how much would it cost to do this?? And also if you become a doctor in the UK would it be possible to come back to America and use your degree here?

You can go straight to Med school in the UK, but you would need about six incredible A-levels as a British student. These are intensive and very challenging exams top students take at the end of high school. Or, you could take the American equivalent, about 10 - 12 APs with grades of 5 on all of them, usually in: - Physics B - Physics C - BC Calc - Stat - Chemistry - Biology - Foreign Language - EnvSci - English - Psych - Latin All these along with nearly perfect SAT II scores in these same subjects. A regular American high school education will NOT by any means cut it. Tuition is similar to American med schools - about 45,000 dollars a year. You can certainly use a British medical degree in the States. Best of luck =]

Answer 2
The first response is mostly correct, but to clarify, A Levels are courses, not just exams. And it is accurate to state that a US high school diploma is not going to meet the admission requirements to a UK medical school. Equally important, UK medical schools rarely accept US students for the simple fact that US students leave the UK to go back to the US. Nobody can practice medicine in the US until they have successfully passed the US Medical Licensing Exam. The USMLE Step 1 exam is entirely focused on the Basic Sciences, which are emphasized in US medical schools far more than anywhere else, so anybody not educated in a US medical school is at a disadvantage. For this reason, many foreign trained physicians cannot practice in the US or they must take additional classes in the Basic Sciences. If you think students in the UK get to practice medicine sooner than their US counterparts, you are mistaken. Although most of the world enrolls students into medical schools straight out of high school, the medical schools and residency training are longer. In other words, it still about 11 years to become an independent practitioner. There aren't any short cuts to becoming a physician.

In the UK they are called years. If you turned thirteen this September of later you would be in Year 8 and if it was before then you'd be in Year 9. First you go to two years of Nursery Then Primary School Reception Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Then you go to secondary school Year 7 (age 11 to 12) Year 8 (age 12 to 13) Year 9 (age 13 to 14) Year 10 (age 14 to 15) Year 11 (age 15 to 16) Lower Sixth (age 16 to 17) Upper Sixth (age 17 to 18) Then you leave and go to University.

Answer 2
It depends. If you only just turned 13 (since September 1st) then you'd be in Year 8. If you are going to turn 14 anytime between now and the end of August 2010, then you'd be in Year 9. :]
2009-10-02 13:46:31
Answer 3
You would be in year 8 if you have just turned 13 ,or year 9 if you are nearly 14, which is the 2nd/3rd year in secondary school. secondary schools usually take 11-16 year olds. Some take up to 18 year olds if they are colleges as well. Hope this helps :)
2009-10-02 13:46:46
Answer 4
i think you would either be in year 8 or year 9 depending on when your birthday is, so you would either be in first or second year of high school.
2009-10-02 13:48:52
Answer 5
We don't have grades over here. And its different depending on where about in the UK you live. Scotland, England/Wales and Northern Ireland all have separate education systems. In Scotland, instead of grades you have primary 1-7 (I think you's would call this elementary school?) then you have 1st year all the way up to 6th year (which are the high school years). In England, you have year 1, year 2, and I'm not entirely sure what year it goes up too. Northern Ireland...I have no idea how their system works. I'm Scottish, and here you would be in 2nd year or 3rd year depending on when you birthday is. If you have a birthday between and including the months of March-August you start school when you are 5 years old and if you have a birthday between and including September-February you start school at 4 1/2. So if you started at 4 1/2 you would be in 3rd year, but if you start at 5 you would be in 2nd year. Hope this makes sense.

In short, no - you would almost certainly be unable to get a working visa for the UK. In addition, UK graduates are having a hard enough time finding employment, let alone graduates who come with the added cost and bureaucracy of employing a non-EU worker. If you were to do a post-graduate degree in the UK, you could get an international post-graduate visa, which would allow you to work for 2 years in the UK, then you might find it easier to get an ordinary working visa in Tier 1 or Tier 2. The alternatives, broadly, are to seek employment with an international firm in the US, and then transfer to the UK, or get a sufficiently well paying job in the US that you could qualify for a Tier 1 visa.

UK residents pay 'council tax' . This helps to fund schools (all of them, not just secondary schools), roads, police, fire service, health services etc. Council tax is worked out on the value of the house in which you live, whether you own it or not (it is a complicated matter) and varies from area to area. If you do not pay council tax then you are committing a civil offence and can, eventually, be taken to court. Government funding for schools comes through the local education authority (usually part of the Counry Council) and is 'topped-up' by contributions from local council tax, worked out by a formula. This means that school funding varies across the country. http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/management/schoolfunding/ Additional fund-raising is also carried out for individual schools by parent associations and so on.

Best Answer
There are many colleges and universities in the New York City (and in New York State, but I'm assuming you mean the former). Because you are an international student (as opposed to a New York State resident), tutition will be higher for you. Whether or not you qualify for financial aid depends on the aid rules and restrictions of each specific college or university. So: Decide what you want to study; identify some colleges and universities that would provide the education you want (College Boards online will help you); look at the aid packages offered by each school; make application to those schools that would offer you the best aid packages.

There are many colleges and universities in the New York City (and in New York State, but I'm assuming you mean the former). Because you are an international student (as opposed to a New York State resident), tutition will be higher for you. Whether or not you qualify for financial aid depends on the aid rules and restrictions of each specific college or university. So: Decide what you want to study; identify some colleges and universities that would provide the education you want (College Boards online will help you); look at the aid packages offered by each school; make application to those schools that would offer you the best aid packages.

Yes, it would be expensive. Very expensive. Why can't you be independent in the UK again? I'm sure there are places you can get financial aid...but you can't get it from the British government to study outside the EU.

There are a ton for each but you have to choose one or the other if you are serious about it. They are both totally time consuming. *Btw, in Juilliard you can only choose one major. Either acting or music. Don't get your hopes up of attending this school I think they take 7 or 9 actors in the the program each year. This is a link to a juilliard music student (piano). You would have to play this well to get in. (Although he does have a pleasant voice, he is not a vocal major.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnRA_MFlGek

When do they start primary school in UK this year? (I'm talking about Catholic primary schools)?
I thought everyone will start on the 3rd Sept but I read somewhere online recently that Catholic schools may have different start dates? How true is that? I tried contacting my daughter's school these days but no one answers - I think because everyone's off on their summer 6 week holidays. Does your child attend a Catholic primary school in UK and will he/she be starting on 3rd Sept?? My eldest daughter is starting reception this year in a Catholic primary school.

Is it worth it to go to school and move to the UK from the United States?
I have always wanted to live in the United Kingdom. If i am going to do it, then i think that the best time would be to do it when at school so i could get a degree in the country. I am planning on being a doctor. Is it worth it to go to school there and move there? I have researched it, and in the United States you go to college then med school. Whereas in the UK you just go to university and major in medicine. So would it be better to try to apply to a school there?

My cousin took your proposed course, married an Englishwoman, and is now a professor of forensic psychiatry in England. When he made that move, the tuition fees for international students were very low. I believe that they have been raised substantially, but are still less expensive than at many US medical schools. If you return to the US after medical school, you will probably have to take the US exam for foreign medical graduates.

Best Answer
If you wish to become an attorney then you really need to develop your research skills and this simple matter should not pose a problem for a law candidate. If you obtain an LL.B. from the U.K. you would not be eligible to sit the bar exam in most States ((NY and California are two of the exceptions) because one of the requirements to sit for the bar is that you must have at least 12 months of education or hold a J.D. from an ABA accredited law school-- which if you study in the U.K. you will not have. If you decide to take and pass the bar in NY and California then you will still find it difficult to be employed since you will just be an LL.B. attorney living in a J.D. world and thus are considered under-educated and under-experienced compared to those who graduated from a U.S. law school. The idea is to obtain a law degree within the country that you wish to practice in. The better alternative for you would be to obtain your J.D. from a ABA accredited law school and then go abroad, should you choose to, and obtain an LL.M. (Master's of Law). This will save you a lot of money and a lot of heartache in the long-run.

If you obtain an LL.B. from the U.K. you would not be eligible to sit the bar exam in most States ((NY and California are two of the exceptions) because one of the requirements to sit for the bar is that you must have at least 12 months of education or hold a J.D. from an ABA accredited law school-- which if you study in the U.K. you will not have. If you decide to take and pass the bar in NY and California then you will still find it difficult to be employed since you will just be an LL.B. attorney living in a J.D. world and thus are considered under-educated and under-experienced compared to those who graduated from a U.S. law school. The idea is to obtain a law degree within the country that you wish to practice in. The better alternative for you would be to obtain your J.D. from a ABA accredited law school and then go abroad, should you choose to, and obtain an LL.M. (Master's of Law). This will save you a lot of money and a lot of heartache in the long-run.

Would it be a good idea for an American to attend medical school in the UK?
Would it be a good idea for an American to attend medical school in the UK?
I am a seventeen year old American very interested in becoming a doctor. I am told medical school is only about 7-8 years in the UK compared to about 11-12 years in the US. I love the thought of saving four years if I attended schooling over seas. Would this be a good idea? If i did go, and became a doctor would i ever have to opportunity to practice medicine in the US after so many years if i desired so? feedback?

If you can afford it. The cost of living in UK is much higher than USA, so you would have to factor in those costs plus you would not be allowed to get a job to help you with finance, unless the university had some arrangement for overseas students. The big issue is, do American hospitals etc recognise UK qualifications? Or would you have to do some certification if you returned to USA? It's worth finding out first. Find out how much the Tuition is for overseas students. There are 3 semesters per year. Usually they pay the fees all at once at the beginning of each year.

Forcing kids to say any kind of pledge of allegiance does nothing. Young children are not capable of understanding the significance of saying such a pledge.

Answer 6
What on earth for? Having to do that suggests that the USA is seriously worried about the loyalty of its own citizens. And given what the USA is like I suggest that the UK is better off without it. Anyway, no oath in the UK would be "to the UK". Oaths of allegiance in the UK as sworn by the police, the armed forces, and newly naturalised citizens, are to the Queen and her heirs and successors according to law. That is the proper position given the position of the Queen as head of state and representative of the nation as a whole, and feels far more meaningful than the US pledge of allegiance as used in schools, which is to "the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands". How do you pledge allegiance to a piece of cloth? The phrase "one nation under God" was added in 1954, which surely goes against the US Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion. It seems disgusting to me that very small children should be made to recite this pledge each morning when they cannot have any idea what they are doing.

There will always be East Midlands Airport no matter what age you are. The first thing you must do for your own health safety is stop reading the Daily Mail immediately. Seriously, you'll go blind, come over all hairy in all the wrong places and not be able to button your cardigan properly.

How does a UK GCSE equate to a US high school diploma
How does a UK GCSE equate to a US high school diploma?
In the UK, students leave high school at at 16, whereas obviously in the US the leaving age is 18. I am from the UK (I'm 18) and wanting to apply to a US university following living here for a year already. However, I have not done either AS or A2 when I lived in the UK. Though I imagine University of Phoenix or the like will likely admit me anyway, I just wanted to get an idea of whether a US high school student is "more educated" when they leave than a UK student would be at 16, or whether they're basically the same things somehow? Thanks!

Are you joking? The U.S. public educational system is a broken pathetic joke. A true disservice to Americans. As long as you've completed primary school you're golden. To answer your question, US high school students , in my opinion, are LESS educated than an equivalent UK student. One thing you will need to do is take the S.A.T. (Scholastic Aptitude Test) that is required in the states. You can sign up to take it through the college board web site. The US DOES have high quality universities , so you're making a good decision going abroad to further your higher education. Good Luck and if you have a child while in the states, send him/her to private school.... sad but necessary.

i believe it varies, but all you really need is to pass an equivalency exam. they give you an exam on pharmacy practice in the place you are going- pharmacy law etc. and you also need to pass exams that demonstrate that your education is equivelant to where you are going. for example i know many pharmacists from india try to come to the USA to practice, but many do not pass these exams. im having difficulty getting specific, but i hope you get the idea. any further questions email me at dasilver@eden.rutgers.edu

If you're interestined in vetinary medicine take a look here http://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/single.htm?ipg=6643 and select veterinary medicine. It gives you a list of courses and the entry requirements - "Entry Standards (Tariff)
 This is the average UCAS tariff score for new first degree students under the age of 21, taken from HESA data for 2006–07. Each student’s examination grades were converted to a numerical score (A level A=120, B=100, etc; Scottish Highers A=72, B=60, etc) and added up to give a total score. HESA then calculated an average score for each university." As the lowest score on the list is 447 points, which is equivalent to more than 3 grade A and 1 grade C at A Level, you need to ask if you can get from Cs and Ds at GCSE to As at A level. You will almost certainly need three of the A levels to be in science / maths subjects. There are other degrees such as veterinary nursing which you can look at.

It totally depends on their accreditation and whether or not a university in the USA would have that specific UK university on their accreditation list. I know the University of Cincinnati in Ohio for example would definitely have to have that specific UK based university college listed on their accrediting list or they would refuse to transfer the credits. Indiana University East in Richmond, Indiana is the same way. I would check with the admissions department of both colleges to see if they would transfer if in fact they were not on each others list. Good luck.

Best Answer
You are limiting yourself if you only want to work in soap opera. Many of the actors in soaps have had formal training at a drama school and unless started as a child actor (usually from one of the children's theatre schools) most have done a variety of work before (and after) being in a soap. It is very rare nowadays to spend your whole career in one TV show. Have a look at the National Council for Drama Training's website and see if there is a course you are interested in.

Answer 1
From my experience, life in any of them is a soap opera! Ooooh so much drama, every day... Do you mean which school has had the most graduates go on into soaps recently? You'd need to do your research. Get the names of about a dozen young actors who have joined soaps fairly recently, and look up where they trained. Wikipedia's quite good for basic information on actors.

Can´t think why you would want to, unless you could get into Cambridge or Oxford, because otherwise, you wouldn´t be getting as good an education. US has the best Universities, overall, in the world. There are only a few exceptions...Cambridge and Oxford, Sorbonne, and a couple of others. And, no...a Master´s in the US does NOT take 2 - 3 years! Not unless you are going part time! And in the UK, a Masters is included in the five year degree, like the rest of Europe, is it not? a Master´s in the US only takes a year, if done correctly, to possibly 3 semesters. But where you go is going to be up to your interests, too. And, if you have been earning and saving USdollars, then Britain is going to be PRETTY pricey! If your money is from some other country, you might be better off in Britain...so many questions to figure out!
All Answers
Answer 1
Depends on if you are going after your masters or PhD. If it just a masters, then it is definitely cheaper to go to the UK because it only takes about 1 year. In the US, it takes 2-3 years on average. So even if tuition is higher (I'm not sure if it is or not), you are paying for less years. However, I'm not sure about PhD costs in the US vs the UK.

Answer 3
Well what you're currently paying depends on the university in which you're studying. I don't pay that much tuition at my university here in the US, but then again, I'm an undergrad. I definitely know that it is very expensive for law and med school here. It really depends on what you're going to grad school for. Like the other person wrote, what you're studying determines how many years you'll be there. I definitely think that it's cheaper in the UK. Check out this website: www.gradschoolsabroad.com. Hope this helps!

Answer 4
My former mentor used to maintain that it is best to read for an MA in the UK and for a PhD in the USA. I still believe that he gave me the best piece of advice ever, regardless of the cost! Nowadays, Scandinavian countries, Sweden in particular, are also offering less expensive though just as efficient training as their couinterparts both in Europe and across the Atlantic. And there the girls have such wonderful complexions! Good Luck!

Can´t think why you would want to, unless you could get into Cambridge or Oxford, because otherwise, you wouldn´t be getting as good an education. US has the best Universities, overall, in the world. There are only a few exceptions...Cambridge and Oxford, Sorbonne, and a couple of others. And, no...a Master´s in the US does NOT take 2 - 3 years! Not unless you are going part time! And in the UK, a Masters is included in the five year degree, like the rest of Europe, is it not? a Master´s in the US only takes a year, if done correctly, to possibly 3 semesters. But where you go is going to be up to your interests, too. And, if you have been earning and saving USdollars, then Britain is going to be PRETTY pricey! If your money is from some other country, you might be better off in Britain...so many questions to figure out!

Answer 3
Well what you're currently paying depends on the university in which you're studying. I don't pay that much tuition at my university here in the US, but then again, I'm an undergrad. I definitely know that it is very expensive for law and med school here. It really depends on what you're going to grad school for. Like the other person wrote, what you're studying determines how many years you'll be there. I definitely think that it's cheaper in the UK. Check out this website: www.gradschoolsabroad.com. Hope this helps!

Answer 4
My former mentor used to maintain that it is best to read for an MA in the UK and for a PhD in the USA. I still believe that he gave me the best piece of advice ever, regardless of the cost! Nowadays, Scandinavian countries, Sweden in particular, are also offering less expensive though just as efficient training as their couinterparts both in Europe and across the Atlantic. And there the girls have such wonderful complexions! Good Luck!

Answer 2
The best thing for you to do would probably be to consult the UCAS website. UCAS is the central application agency which handles almost all applications to UK universities and through which you will also have to apply if you want to study here. The link below is for the part of their website which gives specific details for non-UK citizens: http://www.ucas.ac.uk/students/nonukstudents/ In terms of the universities that offer the courses you're after, if you use the 'course search' function it should allow you to search for all of the universities in the country that offer the sort of course you're after. You can then check out the individual requirements for each university on their websites (they will all be a little different and so there's no point in listing them here).

I suggest you bring a vacuum cleaner, a thermometer (to put on the outside of your window), everything you own. You may think it's over packing, but it's not. At my boarding school my first year I didn't pack anything; and it suffered a lot. I never got to go home and I never really got my clothes back until Thanksgiving vacation. Bring a lot of food, a lot of soup. Toiletry wise, bring a shower basket (to put shampoo, etc in) and everything you do in the morning (teeth, face, etc) Bring wash clothes and towels and bath robes. Towel's including face towels. Bring posters and pictures--it will make your room more desirable to be in. I don't know if it's allowed at your school, but if it is then bring a mini fridge.

How to take admission in Oxford Law School, UK?
I want to take admission in Oxford law school,UK. What are its requirments. Also, i am an Indian student. What is the procedure for taking admission?

Namoshkar! There are several requirements to be met! 1. As a foreign student you must prove your proficiency of the English language with an acknowledged test such as the TOEFL or the IELTS. They cost about 180-220 Dollars. You need a certain minimum score to be considered eligible. However, if you speak English adequately it shouldn´t be a big problem. I´m German and had English for ten years in school and spent a year in the US. I got more than enough points. However, even with less experience, it would have been well possible. You have to remember that law is a very text-based course so it usually has the highest requirements for language abilities. 2. For some law schools in the UK, Oxbridge included, you will also have to take the Law National Admissions Test (LNAT) in order to demonstrate your reasoning skills, which are crucial to legal studies. It costs about 50 Dollars and can be taken in almost every country on earth. For Oxford it must be taken during the month of September every year. Application deadline for the university´s legal program is Oct. 15th. 3. Interviews are usually not common for law unless they want to get a closer look at you since they are still unsure whether to make you an offer or not. At this stage you already have good chances, though. 4. Most importantly, you will have to apply online through the UCAS website. Here you enter all necessary data regarding your person and previous education. You also have to check on the university´s website whether your type of diploma is officially accepted. There will be a fee for applying through UCAS as well. It should be around 20 Dollars. There is no other way to apply. Once you´ve successfully submitted your application, the admissions officers will carefully review it and then inform you about the outcome. You should know whether you were made an offer or not by late December or early January. Remember that even though the University of Oxford is highly competitive, you should not be discouraged by mere figures and rumors. Work hard and diligently on your application and try to show them that you are most fit to be a part of their student body. Good luck! =)

Answer 2
Sadly head teachers do not like to take children into school for short periods. The additional work it imposes on teachers is significant and there are often concerns when children enter SATs years, i.e. at ages 7 and 11. If your children are bright then schools are more likely to be welcoming than not. If your children have special needs head teachers often find reason to say no. I recommend that you visit a local primary school, state that you are new to the area, sell your children to the head teacher and get a place. Then when it comes time to leave let the school know with apologies and thanks. I understand that this seems slightly underhand but it will make entry much easier. I would love to say that everything would be easy without this but the realities of life in the world of education prevent this.

UK School
Looking for a good school in the UK with musical theatre program?
I am already in a Musical Theatre program in the U.S. (4 yr BFA) but I may be moving to the UK and I am looking for a school to transfer to. Does anyone know of any?

I study English so it is really not my department but the University of Sunderland on the north east coast seemed to have a lively drama group. Either that or somebody was having electrodes stuck to their privates. Seriously, give them a call and it is cheaper to live up north although part time jobs are harder to come by especially during this recession.
