Hello and again thanks to all replies. Our son will be staying in UK for A levels, as we thought he would, good though to have our concerns confirmed! Things are now being put in place for after this time, so that he will have a choice of where he will study, as and when the situation arises. Thats him sorted, now for the rest of the move!.....

There is no problem for our son to remain in UK at an English Uni and this may be the case but obviously we wish to make sure that he, at that stage, will be in a position to make choices for either country, depending on his subject choices etc. His current school have a huge amount of experience with both English and foreign unis and we will also be guided by them at a later date. Thanks again to all your comments, they are a great help.

Thank you once again, that is a consideration we have made and would most probably do, if the situation arises. Really glad you have all confirmed our own thoughts. This then gives him 3 school years, with 3 French summer school years to get his French to the required level for possible French Uni. That should keep him, us and his English school very busy indeed!

Thank you for your comments, yes we are more aware than perhaps we have explained. He currently attends a private international school in England and they are also aware of our intentions. He does already have extra lessons at school for French and indeed, he can, if he wishes to, take Bacs at his England school when he finishes his GCSE's. We have been trying to sort a summer school for this year but most are saying that he needs to be 16, which will therefore be next year. We, at the moment, are still looking at 18, with the view that he will then have the choice to attend a French Uni, but with circumstances , it many have to be earlier. If you are aware of any summer school that is towards the North of France who cater for 15 year olds, please let us know.

We are hoping to move to France next year when our son will be 16 yrs old and would have completed his GCSE's. We would be very grateful for any advice from someone who has done this and how they found the system to work. We were considering moving when he would be 18 yrs but feel that earlier would be better? He is happy to move as we already have a holiday home in France and his French is pretty good, although obviously still has room for improvements. Any help would be gratefully received.
