I am very sure most of the expats who work in HK who earn high salaries most likely went to private schools. Large multi national companies ie Swire, HSBC, KMPG senior level expat staff all went to top private schools and attended Ivy League universities. They all mix in the same circle and know each other.

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.

I would say only the top end of "middle class" will be willing to invest in private schooling. A few of my colleagues were educated privately and they are evidently proud of it.

There are not that many private schools, therefore if you are planning to send your child to private school, you have to buy a house near to that school too. Don't forget England is a big country, not like Hong Kong.

@@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.

Stevo and Faye, can you please name some schools in HK that you consider are 名校? 一般在香港不屬於精英階層的香港家長對香港傳統名校的概念, 跟在英國的普通民眾對英國名校的概念不一樣。 This is to help Hong Kong parents form some ideas as to your 心目中名校的 criteria, for the sake of their comparison exercise when seeking schools in the UK.
@@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。

Thanks for the sharing and it's very useful again! Between, is it true that if the home address is very near to the school, the chance of getting admitted is higher? I noted that those houses/apartments near the top 10 high school are generally more expensive. Would it be a good strategy to buy a house close to a top 10 state school and get into it instead of going to the private school? Please advise.
@nomishome61003 жыл бұрын
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.
@Jamie-nt3eh3 жыл бұрын
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.

@Jamie-nt3eh3 жыл бұрын
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.
