I recommend you visit a Yeomans tent display if you can. That will give you an idea of size and layout you want....

Hi

What tents have you looked at so far ?   Its a big family you've got there and you cant really go off manufacturers berth sizes. It's usuall to add 2 to their figures just to get folks into the bedtoom areas comfortably.

How about the Kalahari 10 at Go Outdoors ? link

reviews from our members

The package deal looks good, the porch would be a real boon.

Hi, don't know if its any good to you but I have a Vango Diablo 900XP which I'm looking to get rid of soon. We are planning one last family outing with it next month but it will be surplus to requirements after that. Bought it about 6 years ago when the kids were 'getting to that age' of needing separate bedrooms (1 girl, 1 boy if you know what i mean lol). Well they are grown up and the wife and I have got a smaller tent for the two of us so this is no longer needed.
here is a youtube vid i found of it so you have some idea of size.

It has a footprint groundsheet to go with it and, at the moment, it has one small tear in the inner groundsheet of one of the bedrooms which I will be getting sorted. Not looking for an exorbidant amount for it - let me know if you are interested
