Hi Dotty Thanks very much for your comments they are really helpful. My daughter is on average at school at the moment and she is also quite mature for her age. She is very excited about moving to france and she shares the same love for france as we do. I had heard that some children redo a year and i have explained this to jasmine and she is fine about it. So i am not worried that it may reduce her confidence. We are looking in the area of Vendee, round about that area but not entirely sure yet. Thanks again Alison
