Firstly, congratulations on your move. Although it may all seem quite daunting now Singapore really is a very easy place to settle into, especially with school age children, and I am sure you will enjoy your experience. We have ended up with our 11 and 8 year old boys in Dover Court. Personally, I am very happy with the school for my 8 year old and wouldn't consider moving him for our 2 year stint. It is a traditional and caring curriculum and we are all enjoying the mix of cultures. The classes are small and I feel he is being stretched and is very happy. As for the 11 year old I am slightly on the fence. He is enjoying the classes and has made friends, but is finding the school very small and is still on the wait list for Tanglin. The positives are the smaller classes and tailored curriculums and opportunities for sport for children who might not otherwise be involved. It is a very inclusive school, I just worry about how he might adapt to a larger school when we move back. Certainly a good interim measure though and it may work for you depending on your children's abilities/needs. Hope that helps.

Our children are at an independant prep school near Oxford, UK and we will want to return here in about 3 years time. Tanglin and Dover Court have been recommend to us, although I know Tanglin has a long waiting list. Can anyone give advice as to the best schools in terms of following UK curriculum and for enabling children to then move onto fairly high level academic UK senior schools afterwards? Thanks you.
