Hello everyone,
We (my wife, me and our son) are seriously considering moving to Gibraltar within the next 12-13 months. No doubt many of you will be thinking that you've seen so many new posters start their first thread with such an idea only to disappear and never return again!
Our story is a little different though.
I served in Gibraltar during my time in the RAF from 1983 to 1986 (I appreciate that the place has changed massively since).
A couple of years ago we moved to France and although we loved it - there were so many things we missed. My wife and I believe that Gibraltar might possibly provide us with the best of things that France nor the UK could - which is an overseas lifestyle in a safe yet familiar environment.
We also have a 5-year old boy who would obviously require schooling.
Our major concern is; would he be accepted by his local Gibraltarian classmates or does a prejudice exist because he is English? Have any of the members of this forum ever enrolled their children into the local school system? We couldn't afford the private school not that this would necessarily make a difference I suspect.
We have a 5-day trip booked for a recce in September.
Any help you can give will be most gratefully appreciated.
Cheers
