Moving to malta?????????????

In my opinion, children when presented with the truth and facts can thrive very well under new conditions. Of course they will need the love and support from you. You would need to understand that there will be highs and lows. The lows will pull at your heart stings when your 9 year old begs to return to the familiarity of his friends and school routine of the U.K.

However you being available and supportive will calm the storm. From what I can tell, the beauty and warmth of Malta might be enough to entice them to happiness.

Good Luck

Hi... check very carefully the school situation regarding your children... some friends who came here at the beginning of this year have been unable to get their two into full time education here until this coming term ... so nearly 7 months of home tuition was required as many schools apparently only take any new intake at the September year start!

Hi tina, we arrived here in June just before the maltese schools broke up for summer but decided our daughter who is 6 would benefit from starting a fresh new school year.

It has been pretty straight forward getting her into a state school in st paul's bay and the staff were lovely and helpful an we got to go and see the school before choosing to admit her there.

It was a case of deciding the school best for her needs then going to the ministry of education signing some forms and she is now starting at the end of sept here.

Kids do adapt and although im nervous for her and her first day,she is quite looking forward to it as she loves school and wants to make friends and also wants to go dancing here.

The people on the forum are very helpful and friendly and i'm sure you'll have most of your questions answered

good luck
