I would like to share information I get although not too much. My daughter is now in another boarding school in Cheltenham. I accompanied her to start school last year. In Cheltenham, I came across parents whose son also started shool in Cheltenham School. The school is quite big and beatiful. The parents were not used to the admission dormitory arrangement and had a few grumbles. The teachers seemed nice and responsive. Students in group like to enjoy weekend in Cheltenham downtown area.
Academically, Cheltenham School is not strong according to ranking. But it probably gives potential students a safe and English environment to grow. As a general trend, there is increasing Asian/Chinese students in Cheltenham School.
For my experience, the most important factor to go abroad is your children's mind set and ambition. For example, my daughter asked me to let her go abroad. She really had her goal. She won academic scholarship to be admiited to her school. On the contrary, my son has no goal at this moment. I would not force him to follow his sister. I wil wait until he asks me.
School hardwares (dormitory and facilities are similar for most boarding schools. However, softwares (principals,teachers and students) are more important. If you are going to compare, you should meet principal, teachers and students in person. By talking with principal, teachers and students, you will have some idea about 'education atmosphere' in school. My experience of talking to my daughter's principal and listening to her speech in morning meeting really impressed me that what passion in education means. It is not about studying, but about passion in life and motivation !
