3 :
There are a number of good drama schools in the UK (not just in London). Some may suit you more than others. Have linked you to the National Council for Drama Training website. They offer advice and information about a career in the entertainment industry. THere is also a list of Drama Schools with information n the types of courses they offer. (Click on Student Pages). Good Luck.

Once you are 16 years old in the UK, what is education like? How many more years of school are there after tha?
I know that once you hit 16, students can either stop school or take A-levels, but how long do you study for A-Levels for before you take the exam?

Usually 2 years.
2 :
There is 1-2 years left and I suggest you finish them if you take A- Levels it's very hard to get a job cuz they always ask if you finished school
3 :
you study a levels for 2 years but you can stop after 1 year and just come out with half an A level (as level) but then after 2 years you could progress to uni or start working
4 :
2 years, you have AS level exams then A level exams
5 :
you go on to do a/s levels now at college which is the first year, normally 4 subjects, the 2nd year of college you can drop a subject and do the full a level in the 3 subjects, after there you go to uni, how long you stay depends on what you study..
6 :
At age 16 you would normally have 2 years of A level study to do, the providing you get the necessary grade, you then go on to uni.
7 :
Well,if your 16 then you're probably doing/ have already done your O'Levels. After that comes your A'levels which is a combination 2 years. What i mean by this is that your first A' Level year you will sit your AS examinations (typically you do 4 subjects here).then your second and last year you will sit your A'levels (which is a typical of 3 subjects-you drop one subject you did the previous year). The grades that you get from both years are combined to get your final A'Level grades. Hope its not too confusing.

If I came to the UK on a highly skilled worker visa, are my children eligible to attend a state school

If I came to the UK on a highly skilled worker visa, are my children eligible to attend a state school?
I am thinking about working in the UK for a year or two, and using the UK as a base explore Europe. My husband and two kids aged 6 and 9 would come too. We are Australian. There should be no problem for us to find work, we are health professionals and there are plenty of positions advertised. Can my kids attend the local state school? Also, approximately how much are the return airfares to major European destinations from London?

I flew London Venice for minus 1 pound once. The company effectively paid me 1 pound to travel and I only paid 14 pounds airport fees instead of the 15 pounds. That's RyanAir. I then went back for about 10 pounds + the fees with EasyJet. They are the two best ones, bar none. As per state schools, there are 100 of thousands of africans/polish/pakistanis/indians who go to the UK with no qualifications and get a free home from the government, including free money to live. The first is called housing benefits, the second is called being on the dole. Dental care, health care etc etc all comes to you for free when you are on the dole. With you being qualified, logically speaking there shouldn't be any problems, however the system isn't as kind to tax paying people. Just find a home in a good location, next to professionals and you should be ok.
2 :
Yes your children can attend state school if you are on a Tier 1 or other work permit.
3 :
yes, your children will be able to go to a state school for free, and you would also be eligible for NHS medical treatment however your visa will probably specify "no recourse to public funds" which effectively means you can't claim any state benefits such as unemployment benefit, disability living allowance, incapacity benefit, etc etc air fares around Europe is a fiercely competitive market with many cheap airlines (e.g. Easyjet, RyanAir etc) offering cheap flights ... the prices vary and usually if you book early or if you book for an "antisocial" time, or book for midweek then you get cheaper flights I've found that around Europe the flights are the least of your problem ... you spend far more on accommodation at the other end
