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.
Thanks for your sharing. It's really helpful. We plan to let our child to study in a private school at Y7 (the coming Sept). Would this be ok or a good pick if you change from private to state school 2 year after (Year 9)? thank you!
@@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.
I wouldn't waste money on private educations here. It's not about private or comprehensive education. It's who you mixing with the decent good bunch of kids and it's all down to parenting as well. I Don't believe in private Educations both my boys went to comprehensive school and both done really well got a decent jobs they love. fully independent..
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.
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.
Private school speak proper english, ie, aristocrat accent, no dodgy accent. Also you tend to mix with children from wealthy families, their behaviars are more likely to be top notch!
@@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.
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.
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.
@@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.

@@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)
What kind of lifestyle would you and your family members lead in the UK? How many family members would there be living in the UK with you? Where in the UK do you think you would settle?
Your child can attend an Independent Day School and not a full boarding school to save money. Tuition fees should be around £12,000 a year. Will be cheaper if it is Primary level.
I am living in London with a family of 4. I did think about sending my son to private school and it is around £1400-£1500 per month. Although it doesn't sound as much but after considering the take home pay minus living cost and mortgage, there is hardly any money left to go into school fee. Hence I am curious what kind of salary I should have in order to send my son to private school.

Stevo 無私的分享真心多謝🙏
好詳細!謝謝分享同心得!
實用題材，感謝您們的分享。👍🙏💪🙂
雖然沒有打算讀私校或寄宿學校，但聽到你們的見解，又可以認識多一些。
謝謝你們的分享！🙏😊
喜歡呢個 channel原因係內容多元化又貼地，主持人少商業味，多親切感。我俾👍
多謝說明, 親身經歷!
我喺英國住咗30年，個女喺私校畢業，舊年入咗大學。我想補充少少入私校嘅資料比大家，因為實在有太多人以為私校就一定讀書要好叻，其實英國嘅私校都有幾種，例如有啲只要比錢就入到，呢種學校多數係比啲好有錢，但讀書唔叻，什至乎有讀寫障礙嘅學生。有啲你好有錢讀書又叻但係都未必收，例如Prince William 嗰間 Eton。有啲私校好著重family background, 父母做咩工亦都係學校考慮因素。所以如果申請私校，做父母嘅最好去學校嘅網站硏究清楚，千祈唔好以為全英國嘅私校都同一standard, 希望幫到大家。
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？
Like your opening music, it always give me hope and joyful time
謝謝分享🥰

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

非英籍學生只能讀independent school。即係private school?
有人話響英國做IT 好過做醫生. 我個仔宜家讀緊state school, 我覺得呢度既公立學校教育同香港好唔同, 雖然香港好多操練, 但係有系統, 英國好自由, 但好似冇系統, 對於我哋本身唔係英語系既人好難掌握同熟習.
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！
