Forgot to say... Yes all the teachers are trained and qualified in UK. QTS or PGCE. Ref the time, we just have the one week off. I think they are a little more strict on time and Hols. One of our half terms last year was a day on either side of the weekend! I think compass finish at 1.20and I think Sherbourne is 2.15, or school club runs to 3.30. So definitely longer days.... Again depends what you want I guess.
