We are considering a move to spain with our 6 year old daughter and would like to make contact with anyone who has done similar. We would like to know about schools and your experiences...

He won't get it as he only has one post, he needs three before he can receive PMs.

Nobody tells me anything,
Quick cut and paste of the PM.
"Not a family in Gandia anymore.But we did move here when my daughter was six.(now just finished her degree in Spanish Lang and Lit in the UK) Are you thinking of the town or the outside areas like La Drova or Marchuquera? If so as there aren't as many children around to play with after school so picking up the language might take a bit longer. We bought an apartment in the town and sent our daughter to state school things went well for her as six is the ideal age to start school here.

Just for future reference, if it's not personal info and just general advice like that, it would be better if you could post it on the forum so that everybody can benefit from it. That way anybody joining in the future and searching posts will see it too.

Thanks.

As nobody had answered the OP's question I didn't think it would be of interest to anyone else.But point taken.

Hi, thanks for reply. We are looking at Benicolet?? and are visiting the British School in Gandia. We are over in a few weeks to look around the area., and hopefully look at other schools.
I'm guessing Benicolet is also quiet ?

davidinspain

Don't want to sound negative,but if you bus your child into Gandia for school when she's at home she won't have the connection with the local children,that being at school with them would bring.Benicolet being slightly more inland is more likely to teach more subjects in Valenciano rather than Spanish.

Hi I was just wondering how you got on? We are considering moving to the area soon. My children are fluent in Spanish but was just wondering if you did move and settle Ok? Thanks
