Darling expats, I am in need of Guidance! My husband and I, both born and raised in Texas, are contemplating a move to the UK- his company is branching out overseas etc. The base of operations will be in Slough. The company will be aranging townhouses in Windsor for the folks who move from the states.
We have two children, one in first grade, and one in second grade. The second grader has an Autism spectrum diagnosis and dyslexia. He is able to be in a regular classroom with certain accommodations and he goes to a daily "pull-out" dyslexia reading program at school.
I'm *considering* homeschooling my children while we are in England. (Which may only be a year or so.) My reasons for this are related to my son's special needs, but also due to a desire to have flexible time to explore the country and the city of London.
Can anyone tell me what specific requirements there are in regard to homeschooling in the UK?
How would I explore the public school options in Windsor? Is there are website like "greatschools" with ratings and reviews? I'm also looking for pointers about special education in the UK public schools. I don't yet know if the company would be willing to pay for a private school. Are there any good ones in Windsor?
Forgive my ignorance but is school "free" to all and supported by taxpayers as it is here in the states?
