你好, 關於學校的綱站, 應該怎樣研究, 同埋怎樣估到, 這間學校比較接受外地人和提供支援

你好，請問有沒有一些平民化，重視讀書的私校可推薦呢？

Thanks for your comment I’m sure Stevo appreciate!

你想佢玩 '校服誘惑'?

Agreed !

比定心理準備妳英國私校好似香港中学咁會有好多功課或考試。另外白人家庭入得私校，家長嘅職業背景教育等点都會同人有所比較嘅！呢方面妳孩子更加我要有心理準備啊！😅

@@jessicashiu33 謝謝你的意見，因為細仔有讀寫障礙，現在報了這間有支援，比佢適應咗先，之後再先睇下佢情況先入返state school

多些介紹有關生活，如巴士站，如何付款等。街市。

識人好過識字

Well said. 講得啱

I genuinely agree with your comment

Strongest agree. Not only in UK. This definition is all over the world.

True, but to avoid confusion in the minds of Hong Kong parents who are not familiar with the historical reasons of establishing public schools in the UK many many many years ago, let's call them private schools for the time being.

父母和小朋友一同適應，時間是良藥！保持信心，祝成功挑戰！英國疫情有向好狀態，小朋友回復上實體課，便有改善，keep 住狀態！加油！

@kfip - 也不是起了什麼底。 等待他公佈自己的三圍數字, 或他的內衣褲大多是什麼牌子, 那才是真正的起 '底'。

要有心理準備, 明白英國的私校收費比香港的直資學校收費貴。

@@namgachan5149 Really? It gave me an offer but I did not accept it. (many other English private schools gave me offers as well but my selection criteria had nothing to with school fees)

@@namgachan5149 問清楚: 你朋友讀過的是英國Harrow或是其他國家的Harrow?

@@nomishome6100 在London 的harrow school

As expected.

It depends on the schools of your choice, and your child's aptitude & attitude, abilities and interests. There are no set rules.

@@nomishome6100 oh,sorry,wrongly pressed actually,英國state school 會緊依出生日期1 Sept起計，簡單來說若六月出生，在港讀緊小二，在英便要跳小四，適應殊不簡單！會提議先讀私校day school,打好底才考慮轉較好state school,Grammar school 競爭激烈，十分難考入！ 至於boarding school 學費不菲，剛search 我女兒當年入讀的boarding school,每term 要10000磅-12000磅，(每年3 terms )但day school 只需7000+磅,另外half term 又要去guardian 處住，每term又有2 個weekend exeat 要去監護人家住…… 私校師生比例，教學資源當然比state school 好，這是不容置異的！ 至於大學學費只需入UCAS 網便有齊資料，讀medicine,science 科學費比文科貴，想取得以本土生大學學費也很難獲得批出……女兒們已經大學畢業多年了並在英工作，我祇以家長角度分享一些經驗，小朋友細個來適應會比家長易些！ 在F.1年級入學可以讀拉丁文，盡量在中三或以下插班可修讀法文，德文。很多私校也有中文科，但程度非常淺易

@@vivienjenma I had my full British citizenship through my parents before going to university in the UK. Perhaps due to my place of birth being Hong Kong on the application form, and the mentioning of my Hong Kong experiences in my personal statement on the application form, the university I went to classified me as an overseas student at the beginning. Through my thorough research during the 1st term in year 1, 我和大學有關部門信來信往 and demonstrated that I should have been classified as a home student despite having only spent two years in the UK doing A-levels. In the middle of the 2nd term in 1st year, the university confirmed that I should have been classified as a home student and then refunded the excess my parents had paid for the whole 1st year.

看過那麼多集 Moving Socks 的影片, 我所形成的印象是他沒有去牛津或劍橋。

@@queenb264 That's a given. You can try guessing the subject Stevo studied at university and check whether that subject is/was offered or not at Oxford and Cambridge. Please note that this thread is not about what university subject(s) he studied but whether he went to Oxford or Cambridge after all the investment of time and efforts at a good secondary school.

@@queenb264 True, just as I discovered during the interviews at a Cambridge college and my bachelor degree years at a top university in London.

在香港?

@@nomishome6100 以前香港讀中學

個人意見，不要太執着那些top school ranking 每年排名表，每年排名必有上有落，若一間學校過去5年平均達Top 300 已經是很穩定的表現了！切勿揀一些突然升高排名很多之學校，記得睇埋GCSE 成績，若GCSE 平平，A level 突然升高，可能收了很多香港學生，中文，數學成績拉高很多便成虚像！Top100 入學競爭很激烈;考慮下你孩子興趣，若她喜音樂，可選一些音樂設施好之學校……可詳細看每學校web site,全面了解 若選寄宿，便要找boarding %高，否則weekend 祇餘下幾十個寄宿生，那麼weekend activity 安排便不足了。 普遍來說，男女校science 較勁，我朋友女兒讀女校，她A level 想take physics, 但她校只得幾人讀，故F.6 轉去一間top 男女校，那校可以開到两班physics,因男仔多選science,當然師資和設備都優勝很多了！ 若父或母同去，經濟許可，先讀私校day school,打好底後，F.6 也有很多好政府6 form

@@vivienjenma All agreed, based on personal experience - I took many GCSEs while studying A-Levels during my first year in the UK, and a teacher told me afterwards that with my top GCSE grades, I single-handedly helped the school's GCSE A-C grades percentage move up by 3%. 講我知嗰陣自己有啲不以為然 (我嗰陣嘅想法不過係想攞自己嘅應有成績咋嘛, 冇理其他咁多人與事) , 後尾好快諗番下條數, 計落又真係令學校在排名榜上有咁樣嘅效果。

Yes to your first question if applying to good state schools; 'not necessarily' to your second question - think about the situation of your child having been granted a scholarship by one of the top private schools in the UK.

Depends on age of you kid. Enter from English primary to secondary then by school selection (luck) process. Direct entry in upper years is very slim as most good schools will have long waiting lists. Age +13 almost 0 chance. Most state school will have their own admission policies and can be very complicated. But in general distance from school is the main criteria. Councils will require you to admit your kids to school with a few weeks. So your kid may end up a not so good school. But, not so good schools may have good student class. Main difference between private and state school is class size. And private schools are very commercial and they expect you to attend fee paying after school tutorials, which can be very expensive. State school class sizes are 30. Some private schools class sizes around 10. Good luck My friend bought a house very close to his desired school but his children got second choice. Drives 30min to school. Competition for very good schools in UK is like famous schools in HK. Prepare a second choice.

What about Grammer schools? Entry by taking examinations. Usually long waiting lists. No waiting list probably not a very good school. On average GCSEs performance is better than average as their students meet a basic requirement through admission exam. Also, more expectations for students to contribute to school and society. Studentwise very similar to non grammer schools and probably share the same primary schools as they live in same area. Not all bright students want to go grammer schools.

@@Jamie-nt3eh thank you for your explanation

@@DC-jz9pc no problems. In year (+11 yes) admission is very difficult. Exams are easy for top 30% of HK students with good English. Usually 4 papers of multiple choice questions done on a computer. English and verbal reasoning exams do not usually not meeting the mark and bring down the average score. Better have a good academy school as back up.
