ESF & Kellett K

chima_pigpig

本身冇諗住擇IS，最近情況有少少改變所以啱啱先開始睇 info。
阿仔19年出世，超細B，係英國BC，佢冇中文名，想問如果報ESF或Kellett有冇priority?
我問過Kellett佢地話UK passport holder is not a priority，係計排隊先後，咁如果又真係有expat喺外國嚟香港排得好後咪冇書讀？
又ESF同Kellett都係計calendar year即我仔係超細B要同同年年頭嘅BB一齊見（如果有得見嘅話）。我B係中英家庭，我係香港人我老公係英國人，通常呢類BB喺2種語言下長大會俾其他BB遲講嘢，咁如果咁好彩有得in但又未講到嘢咁點算？

From my understanding, the cut-off year group is between Sept-Aug for Kellett. You have to be 4 years old by end of Aug to enter Reception year. You can check the school’s website.

On that basis, those born in Sept will be the “eldest” and those born in Aug will be the “youngest” in each year group for Kellett.

Oh yes I did not read the table thoroughly. I applied for 2024 for my baby days before since the admission office said the priority is purely depending on the applying date. But TBH since we will leave HK eventually before Y9, I personally want him to get into ESF due to the financial reason.

May I ask if UK passport holder will obtain a certain level of adv over the local passport holder even though they said no to me?

My understanding is that there is certainly advantage as foreign passport holder (regardless of which foreign country) over local passport holders only because they have to maintain their 70% foreign vs 30% local ratio.

But this advantage is not specifically for UK passport holders, other countries such as US/AU/Canada passport holders would be have the same advantage.

由英基幼稚園入學，應該不難。
重點視乎你住邊區、考邊一間。

考到的家長都會話容易的，每個孩子和家庭不同，試吓先啦！
至於大仔細仔的問題真的不用介懷，按照自己孩子的成長步伐，主要以英語傾偈聊天，讓他能掌握學習就可以。我認識的小朋友之中，不少是聰明的細仔。

Kellett should have given you a waiting number after you’ve applied. They said for 2024 reception, waiting number before 120 should have a great chance for interview.
My child is also a bc, n was born towards the end of 2019.

I did not receive a waiting number in the confirmation email.
And I asked the admission office right before I applied they said the waiting number is around 170. So means my baby is having less chance to obtain an interview right?

Kellett said they have 115 places (69 at pok fu lam) I guess 170 still have chance but may be not the first batch.

Thank you for the information, I have sent them email to check our waiting number, hopefully will get to know on Monday.

170 should be very highly likely to get a place, my friend was 250+ this year finally get the spot, and Kellett normally do not need interview, but only submit recent school report, non-selective school.

That is very encouraging!!!
Thank you so much!!!
May I ask again, apart from the tuition and the debenture listed on the website, is there any other additional charge such as ECA, school bus, food, annual camping, etc.?

Thank you so much for your information in advance!!!

I got the reply from the school, my baby is at around 150 atm, I think maybe there are around 20 applicants without foreign pp (?)

But we are targeting KB campus, and there are only less than 50 places located in KB, so...... I live in Kowloon West, should I queue for the Pok Fu Lam as well???????

Hi Chima_pigpig, waiting list number 150, you can get 99% confidence to get into Kellett either campus.
from above even 250 also get a chance into Kellett.

If your child has UK passport, your child will have priority of admission in ESF schools.
