She’s not from Yorkshire… Welcome to our blog, about life in the North of England as three sassy, tell-it-like-it-is-American women. You see, there are tons of American ladies in Britain, and we need an outlet to rant. Cry. Rave. Complain about our English in-laws, be homesick, and wonder why the kettle needs descaling so often! This is what we’re all about –discovering things about the UK and the US that would have never occurred to us if we’d never lived here. Come join in the fun!

  • Thanks for all the info, definitely sounds like a research project to find a school. I have thought of just homeschooling based on an American curriculum but I think she would miss out. I want her to have a good education but I am not the kind of parent that will join into competitions for schools. I was told that it would take some time to find a school anyway. Scary about the steady diet of exams that I picked up in the comments. She is having issue with the idea of uniforms (lol), but more so just the idea of change.
