英國公立中學

meddlesome

小兒被兩間英國公立中學取錄為 2009 九月入學.
分別名為:
Sir Roger Manwood's School (Sandwich) 入讀 G.9  Wymondham College (Northford) 入讀G10.

從成績方面,Sir Roger 是 grammar school. ranking look 亦高一點. Wymondham College 是Comprehensive / Technology School 學術成績似乎稍遜. 但校園環境似乎較優. 小兒現就讀band 1 中學中二. 成績中等. 想請教哪一間學校比較好.

Hi E-gold8806,

Have you studied before in Sir Roger or you have relative studied there?

Do you have more information about the school such as academic result, universities allocation, boarding environment, students, teachers...etc?

Many thanks.

In fact you can browse their website and you would get lots of information.  Sir Roger of course is not the best grammar school but overall, it is quite good in academic.

Hi nchau1966,

I don't know about the issue. May be it's close to the black people living area. Will try to figure it out.
If you go to study in US, there are also lots of black people at school. But it's a kind of International atmosphere.
I understood your concern. Black people seems always create problem.

Hi nchau1966,

I've checked with current student that Sandwich is not a black people area but an aged area instead. There are lots of old people staying around the area.

As for the black people, they are mostly from London. For boy's dormitory, there are 5 out of 25 pupils in black. Of course, there are some girils as well. But there are almost 900 pupils, I believe black skin students are still minority. I guess there are more HK people instead.

Hi trustmetoo,

Sir Roger is a States Boarding school. As far as I know only British passport holders are entitle to study. No tuition fee is needed, for day school student. What you have to paid is a boarding fee.
It's not really a top top ranking school in UK but acceptable. Hong Kong students always get to good universities like Imperial, London U...etc.

I believe the ranking of school and the academic result will keep rising. This year they have received a HK student with 25pts from HKCEE. And somebody with 22 pts was not being accepted.

The overall atmosphere of the boarding is harmonize. Students feel safe living there. Of course, State school is not so pushy as the independent school, that's why there are not too many students went to OXbridge. In another words, students are free to learn at their own pace and ignite their interest of study.

Hi trustmetoo,

I am not an expert on this aspect. I am also new to the UK education.
What i suggest is that you can take a reference at the Times On Lines website to see ranking of your favourite school compare to the others.

Hope this can help.
