Applications from Hong Kong
Two Masters from Harrow visit Hong Kong every October and can answer questions about the School; please arrange an appointment through our agent Academic Asia.

We take an average of five boys a year from Hong Kong at age 13 and an additional five at age 16. Out of 800 boys currently at Harrow, 35 live in Hong Kong; ten of these are English and 25 are Chinese. Half of the Hong Kong entry came to us from our agent, Academic Asia, whom we use less for recruitment than the preliminary assessment of applicants. In recent years half of our Sixth Form entry from Hong Kong have been awarded Music Scholarships to Harrow and several of the others have been awarded Academic Scholarships.

20% of our Hong Kong pupils come to Harrow from UK prep schools, 80% direct to us from Hong Kong schools.
We receive about 80 applicants a year from Hong Kong. The successful applicants are usually academically strong and are either good at music or have an interest in sport.

ESF's A/A* perceantage is arround 53%,

surprise to see that UK's league table shows 98% to 75% for similiar grade for the top 300 independant schools

GSIS's gce result is perhaps close to the top 10 of the list.

any school that did not screen students by their academic performance, much cheaper than any private school in uk, yet still have good univerisity enrollment . don't take the figures quoted as a criticism for ESF. if 2 A can lead to university entrance, why bother to make sacrifice for 12 years in order to get 4A?
