I have two daughters going to study in the UK this September.  They are joining at year 7 and 9.  Bo ...
There is a discussion at mumsnet about CLC (i.e. UK version of  baby kingdom), you can read what UK's mums think about CLC

http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/secondary/1983118-Cheltenham-Ladies-College

I have not visited CLC myself but my friend visited the school in Nov and the headmistress told her that they have a policy that they will not accept students from mainland China.  In the school, 30% of the kids are from overseas.

If you can afford the time, I think you better go and visit both schools before you make a decision since your kids will be spending quite a number of years in the school.

我之前因為揀學校,subscribe 左 good school guide 的網頁,佢地係咁樣形容間學校的學生 ge

Younger girls’ dorms spacious and very jolly with home duvets, under-bed storage and lots of photos and personalisation. At the foot of every bed was a brightly coloured tuck box. Single rooms for older girls are small but characterful, many with inspiring views. A place in one of the old-fashioned ‘cubs,’ dorms where beds have a curtain around them, highly coveted. Parents full of praise for pastoral care whether for boarders or day girls – house mistresses in particular singled out for responding to email/telephone calls by return. Incidents – friendship issues or bullying – nipped in bud equally promptly we hear. Girls bring their own laptops but internet use is heavily monitored. Boarders may use social networking sites from year 3 up out of school hours. The sixth form house we visited was originally the indefatigable Miss Beale’s teacher training college. With its elegant library (plus wireless of course), it is intended to be a ‘halfway house to university.’ Girls may come and go with more freedom but the academic tutors and house mistresses liaise to minimise girls pushing themselves too hard and staff on each floor listen out for late night working. Pupils and Parents

So sorry to undermine a popular cliché but we encountered no braying Henriettas or snooty aristos, just normal girls – friendly, unaffected and full of fun. Our year 9 lunch companions were sweetly excited about how much they ‘loved going to Waitrose’ (store has wisely established itself as the nearest supermarket) and triumphant that they had persuaded the local ice cream van to call at their house. Some observe (as did we) that nationalities tend to stick together both in and out of lessons – inevitable perhaps – and a look at the results lists in the excellent school magazine tells its own, by now familiar, story of the formidable Chinese work ethic.

Whispers on the GSG grapevine that the school is not quite as fashionable with metropolitan parents as once it was but London is still the home city of boarding majority. In the main, parents are the usual spectrum of by no means rich professionals who choose the College because of the opportunities it offers their bright daughters. Several mentioned that they valued the school’s relative conservatism and high expectations in a world of declining standards. All said that the pace is fast; too fast for a few.


另外 IS report ,你都可以參考下...
