Hi


I am returning to live in ED in March 2010 with my daughter after spending 5 years overseas.


My daughter will be 5 years old in Feb 2010 - I'm alittle confused with the schooling system here. Will she have to attend school as soon as she arrives (as she will be 5) or can it wait until Sept 2010?


Also my daughter does not speak any English and I am concerned that she will struggle to adapt - are there any bi-lingual schools in ED (English and Spanish) or schools which have Spanish language support assistants? Spanish playgroups?


I know that there is one bi-lingual school but it is in Nottinghill - but I am looking for something closer to home.


Any advice would be gratefully received.

Most schools in London are accustomed to pupils starting school with little or no English and offer intensive language support if needed. Many large primaries will have Spanish speaking pupils and that may help her a little. I think she'll need to start in Feb 2010. Finding a school at all in ED may be difficult. Do you have an address in mind? Contact the closest school, to discuss?


There is probably a "Spanish school" on Saturdays somewhere in this part of London. The Spanish Embassy may have info.

    • William, a farmer, farming with both his parents who are in their 80s, summed up the nonsensical approach the government is taking on farmers on Question Time tonight when he said: "At the point at which inheritance tax becomes due you aren't in a position to pay it without selling an income bearing asset which then destabilises the very entity you have built up to create a profit from". He summed it up beautifully when he closed: "If this policy were to persist it will materially and existentially destabilise our [the county's] farming business " The biggest clap of the programme came from the ex-NFU president who accused the government panelist: "Why aren't you going after the wealthy investors, the private equity businesses that are buying up land, planting trees, offsetting their green conscience. You've done nothing to them. They're the ones driving up land prices. These farmers do not want to sell their asset....they want to invest in it and this is going to stifle investment. Who is going to want to invest in new buildings as that is going to drive up the value of the estate." "You're going after the wrong people". It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers.
