Y9 為何要入寄宿比例咁低既學校？呢啲其實原本係day school 。

少有少好？

「雖然 Ipswich School 主要提供日校服務，但也有寄宿設施。宿舍位於 Westwood，可以步行至主校舍，最多可住 50 名宿生。作為以日校為主的學校，校方提供了機會給海外宿生與當地學生融入，豐富學校的文化。」

「雖然 Ipswich School 主要提供日校服務，但也有寄宿設施，校方提供了讓海外宿生融入當地學生的機會，豐富了學校的文化文流。

Westwood House是Ipswich School year 9-13學生的主要宿舍，最多可住 50 名宿生，距離學校僅幾步之遙，提供溫馨且宜人的家庭環境。這座佔地廣闊的維多利亞別墅坐落在自己的大花園中，為學生們提供了舒適和溫馨的住處。年幼的孩子們共用臥室，而年長的學生則可享有私人房間，其中許多房間配有洗手盆，更加方便衛生。對於高年級男生，住宿設施位於稱為Westwood Two的獨立附屬建築。

Westwood House的核心是設備齊全的廚房，由專業廚師監管，提供靈活的膳食安排。無論學生是在外度過一天還是享受悠閒的週末，廚房都確保提供營養豐富的食物，並且整天都有小吃供應。宿舍內的公共休息和社交空間還隨時提供麵包、三明治材料、乳酪、水果和穀物。

除了舒適的起居區域外，Westwood House還擁有寬敞的臥室，沒有上下鋪床，遵從每個孩子都應該有充足空間的信念。學生們到達時將會得到體貼的安排，他們將獲得全新的被褥和枕頭，陪伴他們度過整個寄宿生涯。此外，現代化的設施，包括重新裝修的淋浴間和浴室，確保學生們享受到舒適的生活體驗。

對於year 13的學生，住宿主要位於Anglesea Heights，這是一個改建的前醫院建築群，位於小學部一側。這些宿舍建築群主要是一層樓的建築物，提供帶獨立衛生間的房間、寬敞的公共休息室和小型廚房，為學生提供更獨立的生活環境，同時仍然享受到宿舍職員的服務和支援，因為舍監就住在當一座宿舍。」

「學校最大的優勢是在學術上，每年的學術成績傑出成績，再加上寄宿位較少，令學位競爭變得比較激烈，但亦令學校可以控制好國際生和本地生的比例，而得出令所有學生均受惠的結果。學校常常提供多元化的課外活動，令學生可以緩和學習上的壓力，達到work-life平衡的效果。」

「顧問評價：1399年創校。參觀學校時，你會感覺到學校洋溢著濃厚學術氛圍，那種樸實而積極的感覺正是香港家長最喜歡的。要留意，學校寄宿床位較少，國際學生寄宿學位競爭激烈，而日校生絕大多數為英國本地生，學校在國際生和本地生的比例上把關得很好，故此得出令所有學生均受惠的學術和成長結果。」

「1115名學生中只有63名為寄宿生，並且大部份為A-Level學生。宿舍學習氣氛相當良好，家庭式寄宿環境使House Parents可以密切關注每一位寄宿生的需要，再針對性給予輔導，如此關顧即便是一些較文靜的學生也能很快適應。」

樓主，仲有無其他選擇？真係考唔到更好？

送仔女去英國寄宿學校，但學校只有60人左右寄宿，跟寄宿生互動太少，寄宿設施唔會多得去邊，比4萬鎊，值得嗎？
試下再搵第2間升學中心。

agent十呃九騙，自己揾學校自己報最好

樓主，唔係話2間學校唔好，係適唔適合，如果只為備戰ALevel 2年都還可以，Y9-11 唔應該亦唔值得一年比50萬讀呢啲day school, 況且既然一場來到英國讀boarding school, 理應唔好錯過體驗英式寄宿生活，畢竟呢啲體驗過咗就無得追返。
樓主既然問邊間好，即係未比留位費，問下agent 仲有邊間傳統寄宿學校有位？

某agent網頁2024年9月餘額招生
名單上與提及兩間AL成績差不多
而寄宿過半學校有以下

Oundle School
Lancing College
Gresham's School
Christ's Hospital
Downside School
Ampleforth College
Stowe School

如有心儀學校不在餘額名單上
可考慮直接問學校 Admission
是否仍接受今年9月Y9申請
