Dulwich成績好，如果小朋友肯讀嘅話一定可栽培成材。（其實我覺得呢度講嘅學校都係）。當年我地school visit, 都遇到啲好bright嘅學生。學生如果要講不足嘅話，就係我麻麻地鐘意佢嘅location, 同埋boarding house比較細，主要都係得亞洲人住

請問有無心儀中學
例如想入Tonbridge
可考慮 The New Beacon

https://www.newbeacon.org.uk/prep-school/destination-schools/

The vast majority of New Beacon boys are prepared for a Year 9 entry into a senior school of their choice. Whilst Tonbridge School is the preferred destination for the lion’s share, Sevenoaks School runs a close second.

I think one important consideration is whether you want Boys school or Co-ed school.
For Co-ed, Oundle is the most famous and historic among three and Epsom is very famous of its academic results in science subjects.

For Boys school, both Whitgift and Dulwich are good academic, NOT top. Both of them are very good at sports which make the atmosphere not purely academic and it may not fit the appetite of some parents even boys.

Both Dulwich and Whitgift has a very low percentage of boarding, and it is even less if you take out the Weekly Boarders from the calculation. This makes the boarding house pretty hollow during weekend.

Tonbridge is certainly more academic than Dulwich and Whitgift. It is also further from London which can be a plus. I have not passed by Dulwich before, but I can tell you the Tonbridge campus is huge and STUNNING. Also a lot of top boys from DBS, Co-ed, St Paul boys go Tonbridge and Tonbridge's Oxbridge percentage of Tonbridge is much higher than Dulwich and Whitgift. The boarding percentage is also much higher which make the boarding life much more fruitful.

That said, you can expect, comparing to Dulwich and Whitgift, Tonbridge is even more different to get in. If your boys have the offer from all of these schools, I don't see any difficulties in choosing.

P.S. Among local: Tonbridge is perceived in the same league of St Paul Boys, Eton, Westminster, Winchester and City of London.....while D & W are NOT.

回覆 muimui2 的帖子

Target Tonbridge嘅都有幾間prep，我喺第啲帖都講過。例如Hilden Grange, Holmewood House, New Beacon等。
其實for Y7，prep school真係好嘅choice，選擇權大好多。雖然未必一定入到target嘅senior school，但係機會都大（因為係跟local criteria唔係跟國際生criteria）。讀落原來喜歡IB又好以報埋Sevenoaks，讀得好個prep head又可能提議再報上一層樓嘅。當然仲可以試Grammar school啦。

Kent Grammar之首為 The Judd
A level 成績可比 Tonbridge
Hilden Grange 每年最多人升此兩間

咁你朋友囝囝跟英國本地條隊考Tonbridge，定當overseas 學生咁考？因為本地生報要兩年前申請，海外就一年前都得。佢申請得切嗎？

Dulwich和Tonbridge是Eton Group Schools. 聽聞學校之間有agreement e.g.在英國 admission test安排同一日考，目的是減少turnover。

所以我都想知有冇人成功transfer由Dulwich去到Tonbridge。

如果喺Dulwich讀緊，報Tonbridge Year 9，Tonbridge 向就讀學校攞reference 時，佢應該唔會好積極送走自己學生....

I don't know much about Dulwich's neighbourhood.
For Whitgift, it is located at Croydon. Croydon is like Sham Shui Po. On one side, it is closed to Yau Yat Chuen and Kowloon tong, which is all right. While on another side, it is close to Sham Shui Po and Cheung Sha Wan. And that "Sham Shui Po" and "Cheung Sha Wan" of Croydon is much much worse than in Hong Kong.

"...the area also has a problem with crime – in particular, violent crime. In fact, in 2018 Croydon was ranked one of the worst parts of London in terms of knife crime. With a total of 33,410 (including 11,771 violence against the person) crimes, Croydon is London’s ninth most dangerous borough."

"Statistics show that the most dangerous place in Croydon is Fairfield, with an astonishing 519 crimes being committed in July 2018 alone. 148 of these crimes were violent or sexual offences whilst anti-social behaviour raised 137 offences which is a dramatic increase to previous times."

My friend's son studied there few years ago.... there are several exits of the school. And there is one that the students are NOT allowed to use....because of safety reason.
