we are due to move to hong kong with our 2 children, 6 and 2. I was hoping to find an international school with a British curriculum. Any advice? What about nice areas to live with a family?

Where you will live will depend on your income and what sort of package your employer is offering - your first step should be to clarify these two points. Then, there are lots of choices, 'though places are limited.

My children went to YCIS in Kowloon, an excellent (but very expensive) bi-lingual school that offers the full British curriculum and a good grounding in Chinese as well (note, most of the children there are Chinese).

Other friends have sent their children to Shatin Junior (in Shatin) and Beacon Hill (in Kowloon). I don't have personal knowledge of the schools on Hong Kong side, I'm afraid, but they seem to have a good reputation.

Hope this is some help and will at least give you a start.

Hope this is a start

The ESF website will give you most of the info you need.

The run most/all of the English system schooling in HK.

My two kids went to Island School and we were very satisfied indeed with the standard and quality of education at the school. We're now in Malaysia.

All are depend where you will live, there are three area to settle, i.e. Hong kong side, Kowloon and N.T. If you live in Hong Kong I used to live, ESF school is recommended, how ever it is expensive but good one. You can live near the school area which is Baguio Villa , very nice place to live and confident that you will enjoy.
