作者: bigheadshrimp 時間: 24-9-12 23:04 標題: 讀Boarding School的經驗
我小朋友仲係初小階段,不過開始聽到有個別同學嘅家長已經打算安排小朋友去英國或美國boarding school,所以想開始做啲功課,in case 自己小朋友將來同我提出要去boarding school。我自己本身冇讀過boarding school,所以唔係好清楚究竟boarding school嘅生活係點樣。從網上搵到嘅資料,學校會幫學生每日嘅生活和讀書時間安排妥當,另外學校會安排distinguished alums俾talk or dinner parties。聽落好似除咗幫助小朋友變得更加獨立,亦都可以be better prepared for university。不過有人提過學生喺香港報Oxbridge反而會容易入啲,在英國的學校競爭更大。
請問有冇前輩可以分享一下讀boarding school嘅經驗?去咗Boarding嘅,有冇後悔,或者覺得應該早啲去?可以喺邊度睇到多啲關於唔同學校嘅culture?希望安排school tour都可以有個shortlist.
我小朋友而家在國際學校讀書,英文好過中文好多,所以相信將來讀大學很大機會會出國,不過自己擔心太早送佢去外國會同屋企關係變得疏遠…

請問是男生/女生 Year幾去寄宿?

以女校為例 主要在Y7(11+)收生
Y6 筆試/面試 Y5或之前參觀/報名
寄宿比例過七成的女校可看看以下
初部可從學校網頁/Prospectus入手
England Girls' Boarding Schools

--------------------------------------------------------
Wycombe Abbey 89.0%(574/645)

簡單答,係。為最多,入學要求最寬鬆係Y7。Y9係下個主要收生年,不過位少過Y7亦多人爭。至於Y8或者Y10部分學校都會有插班位,不過因為唔係主要收生年所以更少。
如果aim for 好嘅女校,Y7入最穩陣。

不用客氣
如樓上所言 Y9普遍位較少 要求較高
例如 SMA Y9≈Y7 ½ CLC Y9≈Y7 ⅔
SMA Y7 考英數 Y9 英數+另外5科
5科為 Sci RS H/G MFL(F/G/I/S) Latin
收生差不多滿額 插班擇優而取更難
如本身天主教徒心儀 SMA 宜早不宜遲

Wycombe Abbey
https://www.wycombeabbey.com/admissions/#beginning-your-journey
St Mary's School Ascot
https://www.st-marys-ascot.co.uk/admissions/
The school accepts about 65 pupils each year. Entry is at 11+ (our main intake), 13+ or 16+ and is by the school’s own entrance examination, an interview and a report from the current school. About 40 pupils are admitted to Year 7 (11+), 20 to Year 9 (13+) and about 5 to the Sixth Form (16+).
The subjects tested are:
at 11+: English, Mathematics and a general paper (which could include: graded spelling; non-verbal puzzles; listening skills)
at 13+: English, Mathematics, Science, Religious Studies, History or Geography, French or an alternative modern language (Spanish, Italian or German) and Latin
at 16+: a general paper, and interviews in the subjects to be studied at A Level
Cheltenham Ladies' College
https://www.cheltladiescollege.org/apply/joining
Each September around 160 girls join College, becoming part of a vibrant, diverse community of approximately 850 pupils, both boarding and day, and 600 academic and operational staff.
11+ Entry
Each September approximately 75 pupils - 50 boarders and 25 day girls - join us in LC1 (Year 7 / 11+) from junior schools across Gloucestershire, the UK and from around the world.
13+ Entry
Each September approximately 50 pupils join us in LC3 (Year 9 / 13+) from junior schools across Gloucestershire, the UK and from around the world.
16+ Entry
Each year we welcome 45 new boarders and day girls into the Sixth Form, and the overall year group grows to approximately 160 at this point. Settling into the Sixth Form, as a new entrant, is made easier by the fact that all girls move to different houses after GCSE and so it is a new start for everyone.
Benenden School
https://www.benenden.school/admissions/entry-and-assessments/
St Mary's Calne
https://stmaryscalne.org/index.php/admissions/faqs
Q. How many pupils are in the school?
A. Around 360.
Q. How many in each year group?
A. In Years 7 and 8, there are normally between 25 and 35 girls and from UIV Form (Yr 9) upwards, around 60 in each year.
Downe House
https://www.downehouse.net/downe-house-admissions/admissions-process/
11+ Entry
Approximately 55 girls enter Downe House aged 11+ each year
13+ Entry
45 girls enter Downe House aged 13+ each year.
16+ Entry
All offers and places are completed by April of the year prior to entry and availability of places in our Sixth Form is very limited.
Sherborne Girls
https://www.sherborne.com/admissions/faqs
What is the main entrance point at Sherborne Girls?
We have a cohort of around 25 girls join us at 11+ (Year 7) in our purpose-built Junior Boarding House, Aldhelmsted West. Here, they benefit from the specialist teaching and facilities of the rest of the school, at the same time enjoying a curriculum tailored specifically to their needs. While 11+ entry provides an ideal stepping-stone to our mixed-age Houses from 13+ (Year 9), 13+ remains the main entry point at Sherborne Girls, with around 65 girls joining us at that point.
Depending on availability, we also accept a few girls at 14+ and we have a small intake at 16+.

而家啲寄宿學校冇以前咁難入,所以幾時難入易入唔應該係考慮重點。
反而要有心理準備英國寄宿學校嘅質素以後會每況愈下。

感謝大家的分享!女孩子一般都會有點心事,亦都唔會on demand幾時問佢就講俾屋企人聽。阿女仲細不過依家都已經係心情好時先想同我傾,我亦都估計唔到佢幾時想傾,唯有be there as much as I can捉時機。到十幾歲,如果媽媽不在身邊,又唔同time zone,可以點樣維持關係?

到十幾歲,佢寧願同同學/朋友分享。不過如果關係係好嘅,幾個月唔見冇咩影響。家長都要改變心態,明白佢唔會咩都講,唔好夾硬要知。

點解咁細個要送出去讀書呢,通常只係講正面,永遠唔講問題
學生會覺得好孤獨,佢哋會病, 發燒得個捱字,只係俾粒退燒藥你,會運動整親,整親冇跌打酒㗎,繃帶都冇一條,仲有飛機延誤,行李滯留啊,香港學校有社工,英國有但都唔了解你….
重要六個termbreak 安排,call 架車接送閑閑一個鐘,路上發生咩事?或者遇到咩壞人點算呢?
香港人感覺好似成個英國嘅學生都係寄宿,其實英國好少學生寄宿,如果係白人,真係多數屋企或學生有問題先寄宿

大把嘢玩,好多同學,唔會孤獨,可能你嗰間少人寄宿。
你講嗰啲發燒有冇藥嘅問題可能存在,不過我覺得係生活習慣文化差異,高低年級冇分別。
飛機延誤真係睇彩數,我香港飛倫敦都可能有三十次,未試過出事。
我認同英國人寄宿嘅小朋友入面,家庭有問題嘅比例比出面平均高,通常係父母離異,但係家庭正正常常嘅比例一定最大,好多parents meeting同weekend activity,正正常常成家人晌度。

Downe House Sauveterre opened in 2020 and is the School’s second property in France. Prior to this the school successfully owned and operated a site, for over 20 years in Veyrines, before expanding operations to our current Sauveterre site close to Toulouse. The Sauveterre site is 12 acres and is managed and run by staff directly hired by Downe House, UK. The school site can board 60 students.
Pupils in the Lower Fourth (Year 8) at Downe House all spend up to a term at the School’s property in France. Most girls will spend the whole of the Michaelmas (September – December) in Sauveterre, while others will spend two field trips in France over the same term, complying with UK student visa requirements. Pupils will extend their knowledge of the culture, language and traditions of the region and the country through a tailored curriculum which includes trips and activities in the region and participating in partnership projects with local schools.

The curriculum at Downe House Sauveterre
All lessons except Mathematics are delivered in French as far as is practical. We differentiate language lessons for bilingual pupils and girls who are relatively inexperienced in the subject.
We maintain close links with academic departments in the UK and girls will study French, History, English, Geography and Mathematics, alongside distinct subjects such as SVT (Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre). Cookery and Textiles are included in the curriculum, together with Music, Drama and Art. Girls are regularly assessed throughout the term and a full written report shared at the end of their visit.

我仔都係讀完中三先過去英國讀Y10, 佢去boarding school 又真係各方面都好正面,佢形容自己係自由自在又快樂既小鳥,學校又大又靚,又識到朋友,踢波玩hockey 又方便,週末去小鎮行吓,term break 去host family 度,一D危險都冇,唯一唔好係學校食得麻麻,佢第一年復活節啱啱係Covid, 第二年暑假返香港仲要去酒店隔離21日,第三年轉校目標想入G 5,又認識幾個好朋友,大家一齊努力考大學,放假一齊去玩,Y13 聖誕遇正德國罷工,飛機延誤及取消,好多野要自己執生,都係人生寶貴嘅經驗,今年升大二啦,唔使考慮錢既梗係留學好啦。

這些經歷,這些磨練,一生受用。
我孩子都係升大二,由Year 7開始在英國讀書,除知識外,學會理財,學懂時間管理,又煮得。“留學”,我們作了一個最適合自己孩子嘅決定。

我自己嗰個都係完成中四後過去寄宿,感覺上年紀合適,唔遲唔早,人夠成熟去處理和面對眼前嘅野,佢亦喜歡當地教學和boarding 的生活,令我哋無咩要為佢擔心。
不過都聽過朋友講佢哋朋友的孩子太細過去讀書出現情緒問題要睇心理醫生,可能與性格問題有關。

依家啲學校super curriculum 好多種類,例如Finance Society學理財,Cookery係made from raw 例如由麵粉搓起整pizza ,時間管理亦會有明顯進步;老實講句呢幾樣嘢我自己大人依家都唔掂,細路應該醒過大人。
睇返31樓所講,我自認係現代人,處理感冒發燒都係先食粒退燒藥,成十幾歲人,少少整親仲點會用一陣味既跌打酒?點會肯同你用繃帶?似乎係文化差異問題。仲有飛機延誤,行李滯留,呢啲咪係人生經驗自己學下點解決囉!
至於家庭問題,就算喺香港咩階層都唔會無。實情係依家好多學校都多左Exeat,週六週日校內運動比賽和彌撒或崇拜都歡迎本地家長參與,活動之後仲可以自由帶佢出去食晏親子。
