Hi,

my name is chris and i am looking to move to spain on october 23rd. we have an apartment there and we are currently looking for local schools to suit our children...georgina 3,jack 8,joshua 12,. we have been learing spanish for the last two years, and the children have been learning some too. they can tell the time, ask for food/drinks, introduce themselves, count to 1000 etc.

we are looking for any information as to good/bad schools in the area, and any feedback will be greatly appreciated. we are going out on july 11th and are taking the boys to a karate club near to cabo roig..they do karate and kick boxing in the uk, and would like to cary on in spain.we are also looking for employment, i do gardening,engineering, carpentry, brickwork, mechanicing, mending antique clocks etc.... my wife karen is an accountant in the uk. any ideas, connections would be greatly appreciated.

 

many thanks, hope you can help

 

regards for now,

chris

Hi Chris & Karen

Gosh, you've left it rather late to be asking such questions especially about the childrens schools, surely ?

Haven't you made any friends, who are there permanently & with kiddies themselves, who will have first hand knowledge ?

As seen in forums so many times people ask about employment once in Spain & usually they get the same answers, if you can't speak  fluent Spanish, you won't get a job such as an accountant, as in Karen's situation.  

Wished I could be of more help. It's depressing, I'm sure, if you post though & receive no answers so I thought I'd basically just welcome you both to EOS forum & say good luck with your move over. We own property in the Guardamar area, Cabo Roig's around a 20 minute drive south from us. We pass through it on our way "home" from Murcia airport along the N332.

 Kind regards.

Hi, I live not far from where you are going to be. Acouple who live in our apartment block have a boy who is 6, tomorrow I will have a word with them about the school he goes to and post any info I get tomorrow.

Can't help much with the job info, but as morerosado said you would probably need really good Spanish and possibly another language other than English to break into the job market here. There is always the opssibility of starting up on your own if you have the resources.

Good luck anyway.

hi folks,

thanks for both your replys. firstly, weve not asked about schools yet, as we dont know the area all that well yet, and we have only recently been told about EOS. we have had about four or five holidays in our apartment, but as yet, not really met anybody that lives here with children of similar ages.

so, not knowing anybody, not knowing who to ask etc etc, i am sure that im not the first, and i know i wont be the last!!!

we arent going to give up though, thanks for your help.

regards

chris

Hey polski,
Have you had a look at the general discussion boards under 'Kids Stuff'? There may be some useful stuff in there about schools around the Torrevieja area, though maybe not Cabo Roig.

Regards as ever

Noel

sorry I have not posted re. schools, but the people I was going to ask are in England!!

The school I am thinking about is at the top of the Playa Flamenca market road. The market is held on Saturday so if you visit it, anyone will tell you where it is, and walk to the very top, there is the school, which of course is now closed-although there may be some staff there.

If I can be of help when you come over PM me and I'll give you my mobile number.

Hi karen,

i am really sorry that we did not have time to meet up for a beer, we will do soon im sure. we went to look where the school was that you we on about, it turns our that all three children will go to one nearer. this one is past consum, over the ap7, and left at the next roundabout ( on the way to villamartin)

we hired an interpertur and went to the town hall to get our padrons(didnt knew we needed these), we also need medical certificates from spanish doctors, but cannot get these without a letter from our doctor saying that thety are up to date with their jabs etc yes youve got it..didnt know we needed these either!!)

i have to fly back out sept 3,4 or 5th to get them registered in schools, and am currently waiting for news if i have to go on my own or have the children alomg for the doctoe/school registration.

also we dont know if theses a school bus from cabo roig( if they travel on the bus they get school dinners too, if not, more outlay)

its one step forward and two back at the moment.thanks for your help, we will meet up for that beer yet!!
