A school with low boarding ratio is more like a day school which offers boarding (predominantly for international pupils) rather than a traditional boarding school with most pupils staying over the weekend in a close-knit community

我見這間學校A Level成績唔係最top 但也算是優異, 重可以報讀IB, 而佢地IB成績也十分利害 ... 應該英國頭十名內.
其他優點包括 學校大, Ardingly/Haywards Heath low crime rate, 15mins to Gatwick airport , 1 hour to London Victoria Rail Station which connected to tube + National Express, 45 mins to Brighton. Sussex 天氣比較暖.

剛剛睇到Sevenoaks 大約1000名學生而寄宿生比例是1/3 …. 咁樣講法即係佢收都唔應該讀？
俾小朋友讀邊間學校？係咪只應該睇佢寄宿生比例？其他因素唔需要考慮？

你前日0526已經同樣文字答過我了！所以我問返你Sevenoaks 寄宿生比例一樣偏低，咁如果收到佢的offer係咪唔應該讀呢？
送子女去英國讀書只係應該睇學校寄宿生比列？

再者我提出交通、犯罪率及天氣對於一位真正用家來說其實是有關係的。
例如我要返倫敦公司，交通十分重要。
子女想要男女校
家人會係英國住那low crime rate 是十分重要。

我細孖係Ardingly, 你有咩想知？要留意間學校喺country side，去downtown 大約8分鐘車程。weekend 學校有車去downtown 超市（但唔係每小時，所以好多幾個－齊搭校車出去，買完嘢就搭的士返學校）。weekday 只可以星期三叫外賣。
學校比較嚴，家長就梗係喜歡。
至於寄宿生就少華人。

恭喜你大細孖都入到好學校！我對英國升學唔熟，但我女兒入讀 Ardingly IB 也是和你和大家同一個原因。剛過去的六月尾參加學校的畢業典禮（YES 女兒畢業了！）我想說Ardingly 除了學術上乘，其他方面也令我眼界大開：Headboy 致辭魅力十足、儀式前女同學獻唱令人聽出耳油、連校長講稿也是一個喜愛文學的學生操刀！
女兒和一眾好友經過兩年努力，都拿到世界各地大學conditional or unconditional offer 。而三日前 IB 放榜她也順利獲得好成績！作為家長的我對學校覺得很滿意

Ardingly College 對學術有要求
日校生為主 讀日校是不錯的選擇
寄宿的話有寄宿比例較高的其他選擇

想請教一下，可推介一些IB寄宿學校嗎？我仔只是高小，打算Y9去寄宿，因不打算在香港升大學。佢今年由British curriculum school轉去IBPYP，進步好大，老公覺得IB好適合佢，想佢去寄宿都係讀IB。但見大家推介嘅學校都係British system，好少IB 咁？同埋IB寄宿學校係咪超難考的？先謝

有限會提供IB嘅傳統英式寄宿學校，絕大部分都只係提供IBDP兩年嘅課程，所以Y9入學都係要先讀3年GCSE課程，之後先會喺最後兩年sixth form（year 12/13）提供IBDP。英國學校嘅睇法就係MYP年嘅課程唔夠rigorous，亦唔提供公開考試冇咗獨立認證嘅證書，所以一般唔會提供。
如果你係追求IB MYP課程，留喺香港把啦。如果唔計較先讀GCSE再轉IBDP，咁都有啲選擇。當然去英國寄宿，我個人認為梗係寄宿體驗先係重點，所以全寄宿比例亦係至為重要嘅考慮。要有高全寄宿比例嘅傳統英式寄宿中學又要有IBDP選擇，有：Rugby, Charterhouse, Wellington College, St Edward's呢啲的確都唔易考。

Pupils travel from the local area, further afield in the UK and from overseas to join our large and vibrant Boarding House communities. We have 300 full boarders who make Oakham School their home each term to benefit from all the opportunities on offer during the week and at the weekend. Lower School boarders live in the comfortable and homely surroundings of Hodges on the Jerwoods campus, while Middle and Upper School boarders live in eight separate Boarding Houses.
https://www.oakham.rutland.sch.uk/admissions/international-pupils/
We are proud of our diverse community of pupils, welcoming children of all ages from nearly 40 different countries. Around 19% of Oakham pupils are international students and we celebrate the different perspectives they bring to enrich our community.

家長自己留意清楚啦。就算Oakham 嘅所謂IB MYP，都係到Y9為止，Y10/11又係準備考GCSE（因為要公開試證書嘛）。Y9先入學，差不多要揀科，亦會開始準備教GCSE內容，仲算唔算係入"IB"學校呢...

作者: culver 時間: 23-7-11 06:58
當年和女兒一起選擇學校時，真的沒有想太多，我們一起看着每所學校的歴史、IB成績，再利用排除法，排除女校、不想去的地方等，最後落籍 Ardingly 。而我們也相信：一所校譽及成績上乘的學校，總不會把宿舍管理得一敗塗地吧？
當日出席女兒畢業典禮前，也順道參觀宿舍，看著她和好友、舍監、matrons 的互動，聽著她娓娓道來男女宿生持續一年的桌球爭奪戰，我很慶幸我們由心出發，讓女兒擁有優質的中學生活，好好準備下一站大學。而之前我提到畢業典禮中各個出眾的學生，真的讓我眼界大開呢！

如果冇需要IB MYP，只係aim for IBDP，咁當然算有少少選擇。不過真係要記住Y9-11係會考GCSE，唔係IB style嘅教學。當然，去英國讀書根本就唔同喺香港讀書。就算喺英國讀GCSE唔等同IB，亦唔同香港讀DSE，再加上寄宿嘅活動，我認為肯定會開心過喺香港。
我噚啲，又講一次個人意見。去英國寄宿，其實寄宿先係重點。一間學校「成績」好唔好，同佢提供嘅寄宿體驗、pastoral care、甚至宿舍管理完全冇關。我認為全寄宿比例高，係其中一樣選校嘅重點（我嘅邏輯你可以睇翻我啲日誌去了解）。我冇話寄宿比例低嘅學校係唔好嘅學校，但係有得揀呢樣我個人認為要揀越高越好。
Y9去，揾間有A level/IB雙軌制sixth form嘅傳統英式寄宿學校，仲有三年時間慢慢諗。我認為用「文」人或者「理」人去劃分適合IB或者A level太過簡單化。當然如果好明顯係「理」人又唔喜歡寫文，確實讀IBDP係蝕底啲，但掉返轉又未見得係必然。可能有「文」人都唔特別喜歡寫文，有啲可能有某啲科特別喜歡（例如歷史）根本只想專注鑽研，有啲可能覺得第二語言，tok，ee係distraction等等。所以A level揀三科文科簡單直接冇煩惱。
