Yes, we pass a french school in Kingsford / Maroubra (eastern suburbs). Never seen a 'british curriculum' school though.

There's an American Scool up near Epping somewhere. Not sure what the curriculum is like though. From the name, I would suspect that it probably wasn't British...

An interesting question indeed. I wonder how we could find out? We really need some kind of tool that allows us to search about things happening in other parts of the world. My how useful that would be...

actually imo it's a fair question seeing as where you are posting from
it's not unusual to find schools following the British curriculum in ME countries where there is a sufficient British expat population to support it
unfortunately you're unlikely to find the same here in Aus, hopefully you'll find the schools here can offer a similar level/type of education.. or possibly not judging by some of the threads going at the mo

Thanks a lot.. Yes ,here in the UAE ,I guess everything is slightly different than the rest of the world...We've been here for 5 years now and I think it is now time to go back to the real world..
My only worry is the kids' school though. Here, the british school is absolutely lovely and they follow british curriculum. Is the Australian curriculum very different ? How does it work if we go back to the UK?

what you might find (and i certainly did) is that the standards of teaching where you are far exceed those in a British public school

in terms of what happens if you go back to the UK i would speak to the school your children are currently attending and ask them to help, i would be surprised if they haven't had to deal with similar before (both with children leaving and joining)

it might help with answer on here to know the ages of your children and where they are at in terms of exams...
