Do be aware that it is a legal requirement for school-age children ... 5 to 16 ... to attend school if they are living in the UK (as distinct from just visiting). So whilst no one will get too upset if there is a short gap after arrival before they start school, you should not deliberately plan for them to spend months in the UK before they commence school.I don't think it is going to be possible for my kids (8 and 11 years old) to start school in September.

Obviously the sooner you know where you will be living, and thus which schools are around, the better chance you have of ensuring they have schools to go to early in January. If you leave it to the last moment, near the end of the school term just before Christmas, you might not have completed arrangements before the start of the new term in January.do you think if they arrive around Christmas into the UK, they could start clases in January without a problem?
It doesn't have to be as difficult as you suggest.John wrote:JAJ, you are of course quite right about home schooling. But it does of course need to be the case that the parents personally have the necessary skills, or buy in those skills at huge expense.
