I don't know how the NHS band 3 pays. If it's marginal to care job, you might want to consider criticality of funds to you as a family at the moment; especially if owo is the ko ko (money na di tin)!
If your concern is settlement in this country or career growth, you'll have to check other factors and weigh up.
- will she be goings mainstream into Nursing
- does it matter which pathway of healthcare she follows as a career: Care, Nursing, others
- will those be critical when you're done studying and start working in your profession
- will you both be pursuing professional career
- is ILR a 'project must have' or you're not so keen so long you get by in the UK or 'jakpa' to other 'safe' haven or move back (9ja) to live big

Alongside status (to live in the UK), does the NHS pension makes any difference to you: AFAIK, NHS pension is one of the best (well, the academic will punts their annulation)

The dynamics for care job might change in the next year or so. That of nursing might follow the same upward trajectory #pay #mobility #dignity
Read discourse regarding possible intervention in healthcare in page 538.



Above are not exhaustive factors. You'll need to consider your personal circumstances, aspirations. All the best.

Personally, I'd stay let her stick with the care job that pays her more. With the rising cost of living, you're going to need all of that income. NHS Band 3 pay is peanuts regardless of where you live in this country.
She can continue working the care home job, and looking for other openings with higher pay. It's not worth sacrificing much better pay now for sponsorship especially where there's a possibility of getting same a few months down the line.
Those with sponsorship right now what are they doing with it? (Y'all don't come for my head please). Enjoy the pay now, who knows if she's a great worker and the care employer is in dire need, they might sponsor her there as well. At the end of the day it's choosing between short term (sure)benefits and long term (uncertain) gain. At the rate the country is going, by the time you're done on a tier 4 visa, you might already be looking at mission japa part 2.

Verbally has no bearing except it's reduced to writing (in one form or the other) or recorded as 'intent'.
Given the 6 mths tenancy has ended, (an assumption), in my limited understanding, then you default to monthly on same basis. In the event of eviction process, this month-to-month comes to bearing.
In any case, it's time to start looking dutifully and diligently without slack!
NB: In btw, by you requesting or demanding, you might or you'll end up doing the duty of the landlady or new owner
[PS: Addendum] above might fall away if you're subletting and do not hold a written agreement with deposit. Essentially, you're not seen as legal entity, rent wise. That doesn't mean you don't have recourse.
_{PS: these are opinion and do not construed legal advice in law.}

Ticha:
Are you subletting? ie - living in one room and she lives there too? If so then you have very little wriggle room and you will have to leave. Boarders don't have much legal standing under tenancy laws.

However if you are renting the whole house, then she needs to issue a S21. And also check that it is issued properly. Did she lodge your deposit? Provide you with right to rent documents? Have an EICR and GSC? Are those in date? If no, she has to do all those, issue them and give you an S21.
If you deposit is not protected and those documents not provided, you can actually sue her for the whole rent you have paid...

Thanks for this great thread, it is much needed. For those in England, how does one register for reception/ primary school? My child will be 4 in September and still nursery. When is the best time to start applying for primary school/reception?

I think Whatever age a child clocks before August 31st will determine if he/she will be able to start reception in England(I stand to be corrected)

Secondly, how do I go about applying? Do I send a mail to any school of my choosing or apply via council?

Most application for school placement goes through the council. You can check your councils website, there should be information about how you can pick your preferred schools there.

Also, I have identified the schools with outstanding ofset records but they a long drive from where I live, can my child still be given a place in such schools ? ( I don’t mind the distance)?

I think your council will consider schools that are closer to your home first.

Pardon my many questions, the system of education is quite different from what I know and I’m trying to do the best I can for my kids

We all are trying to do our best for our kids oo. Hopefully, elders will be able to give further info on your questions soon. All the best

Ever heard of Abido cream ....... I think it's a Ghanaian wonder skin jelly ..........

LagosismyHome:
E45 helps some people .... Good old vasline helps others as well. Some pour baby oil inside their normal lotion, shake and mix well and use. Epaderm is another option

dustydee:
You can try vaseline gel or dove cream for dry skin. Johnson and Johnson baby oil works too.

Lexusgs430:

They might have student discount offers though.....

claremont:
No.

Go for your booster and with that, you will be able to generate your pass.

mex551:
have you registered with a GP and gotten your NHS number ? If affirmative, download NHS app , follow the directive on how to get covid pass. They will assign you to a location where they will physically collect your vaccine card and check it. After that, they will now upload the pass into your app. That might take up to 2 weeks after the physical verification of your Naija covid card. I did mine few weeks ago

I bet you, that soft spoken lovely landlady, would tell you she does not accept credit cards.............

Ticha:
Someone from 9ja might not have access to a credit card tho. But you're right a credit card offers a charge back opportunity plus S75

Adebayo82:
Good morning, please which app are you trying to pick point that someone can fund with naira and charge at CBN rate, and one can use it to pay IHS and Visa fees. I'm interested. I have been looking for a way to pay IHS and Visa instead of going to aboki for dollars because the exchange rate is pocket tearing.

MOE no longer allows authentication by proxy. Legit information

iamadonis2:
Conducted online. According to WUT, while it’s very important to take the placement tests within the 2-week deadline, your performance is not a deciding factor in whether you’ll be granted admission.

iamadonis2:
Scan and submit documents first without authentication and legalization.
Take placement tests.
If you get conditional offer of admission then you can proceed with authentication.
You can schedule legalization on the day of your visa interview
