Hi! Schooling for your children will largely depend on the kind of visa you are entering the UK with. Expat children aged between 5 and 16 years old who are dependents of a person who is legally allowed to live in the country are entitled to the same education rights as British children. Namely, they can attend state primary and secondary schools in the UK free of charge. There are three options for schooling depending on the budget you have. Our guide on schools in London may give you more clarity on which option to go with.

Are you planning on working and living in London long term? The best way to get a long-term visa or work toward permanent residency would probably be by getting a working visa. What kind of job do you do? Have a look at these different kinds of visas to help guide you in your decision.
