My husband is living/working in Kuwait and I am looking to come over from the UK with the children and need some advice on the best schools for them. My biggest concern is for Yr 9 as they are about to choose their GCSe subjects for Yr10 and I want to make sure I pick the right school for him. I have the option of coming in the spring term or waiting for the new school year - can't decide which will be best! any advice welcomed!

Some very good English schools, especially for IGCSE and A level results. In no particular order NES (put first because I work here), BSK, KES are the top 3 I think. Don't leave it too long to apply these 3 are often oversubscribed.

Hi GMannion,

Do you think I can still apply for NES? Or are admissions closed now?

I have applied already at BSK for my daughter (for KG) just to have another option.

Honestly it will depend, I'm sure there is no harm in ringing the school to try at least, I'm a teacher not part of the administration sorry.
