Both schoosl offer a place for year 9.

有沒有家長給你們寶貴意見

請給意見各校水準如何,

師生比例,

有誰知道哪所條件優勝？有甚麼地方較優勝呢

排名
St Geroge VA
Schoolranking ( ranked: 500)比
Steyning grammer(ranked: 1000)高很多.
但在 Ofsted報告:

只是GCSE result沒有 St George高

Percentageachieving 5+ A*-C GCSEs (or equivalent) English and maths GCSEs

St:George: 90%

SteyiningGrammer: 70%

不知怎選,
謝謝各位意見

Hi JK2000,
In order to enable all boarders to know each other,the  boarding School arrange a lot of activities at the weekend, such as touring around the city and water sports. My son enjoy it and  can cope with it so far.
About 10 mins walk from boarding hse to school,WiFi is provided,but some web site are block including facebook

RobertPaPa,
May I know did your son apply for admission to Steyning through agent? Or you applied yourself? I am also looking for some state boarding schools for my son and would like to know more about the points to note. Grateful if you could advise me on the procedures, e,g. the date to apply for Y7 in 2015, to submit the application. Thank you in advance. By the way, is Steyning a selective school? As for St. George, I think it is not a selective one.
Have parents heard about Adams' Grammar School, Ripon Grammar School and The Royal Grammar School? What are your comments on them?

Hi hinhinmami,I applied the school myself through the school web site. This is a selective school,however,no admission test but will request school reference and Skype interview. If you intend to send you son to year 7 at 2015,I think you should apply at the end of 2014

RoberPaPa,
Thank you so much for your prompt response. Do you think whether it is difficult or easy to get into this school? How many boarders for Y9?

We are still in Hong Kong.
My daughter may go next week after Mid Autumn Festival .
I need to arrange ticket and prepare the things for her. It is because we made decision late study in UK.


She will be year 9 too this year.

How is the weather there.?
How is the comment from you son for meal?

Re, pillows, quilt  etc, pls advise if you order via boarding house office. it is too bulky to bring.

How about the  books. ?  If The school will provide to the students  or we need to buy.

Here is my e-mail , we can keep in touch for school affair.

Hi, Robert papa,
typing mistake:  should be:  student package air ticket

Do you buy 1-sets "Student air ticket" and which airline you use for your son.

School give each boarder 15 pound each week for spending in school and  I gave him abound 500 pounds reserved of unexpected expense. Should be enough since the school Fee include meal and outdoor activities. Or u can put some money into school for other expense
