My daughter is 6 and we're thinking of puttng her into a spanish school to get into the spanish culture and to pick up the language. I need some information on what months the schools are open and what month could I enroll her. Any response I would be grateful for. Cheers x Spam post? If so please click here to report it

Enrolement time is now and they start official junior school in the year they are 6 (runs from january to december the school year not like the uk). You can enter a child in at any time of the year Sxhools run from mid september to mid june with weeks off for xmas, easter, whit week, half term etc but do vary! If you are coming over in the new year then you will have to take what space they have and it may be a distance from where you are living, so if you are renting you may want to find a living place temporarily and then enrol and move to near the school after she is in. All the spanish public schools are good, some of the smaller ones will be better for her for obvious reasons. Once you live here you will need NIE numbers and the empadronamiento - the official certificate from the toen hall toprove where you are living in order to enrol her - the rules cahnge every year but the school will be able to tell you what you need. I lived in Fuengirola for many years and had my kids in spanish state school there so can help for that area, we are now in Marbella and have experience only of one state and one private school. Good luck _______________________ Quite frankly m'dear, I don't give a damn! info@direct-auctions.com www.direct-auctions.com Spam post? If so please click here to report it

We're hoping to come out later this year to have a look at different areas and possibly visit a couple of schools there. How long have you been out there? because I need as much information as possible to make sure the move runs smoothly. Thanx x Spam post? If so please click here to report it

I know the La Cala school has a good reputation but gets heavily subscribed Many schools are quite large with 3 or 4 classes per year. The one my two really loved was colegio azahar with one class per year, very friendly and both thrived there. Its near the feria ground and there are apartments to rent in the area at reasonable rates. Also you can walk eveywhere including the beach. Al the shops are there and prices are reasonable. There is the Bus and train service also Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with _______________________ Quite frankly m'dear, I don't give a damn! info@direct-auctions.com www.direct-auctions.com Spam post?
