全部排名相若(根據FT sec sch ranking 2012,全是排名300左右)。你試下上mumsnet.com search一下英國本土家長的意見(他們多數從其他角度評論)。

小兒情況相似,都係BAND 1學校讀緊,都有幾間收左。初頭聽人講考十間無一間收,所以連考多間,點知幾間都收。

My son knew a student studying at Kent College Canterbury and this student has a fair comment on this school.

Comparing with King’s Canterbury (31,440 pounds/Rank 37 in 2011) and Tonbridge (32,823 pounds/Rank 9 in 2011) both located in Kent, I think it is quite expensive to spend 28,500 pounds to study Kent College with ranking 333.

If your son is a band one student, why not consider a higher ranking school with less inexpensive school fee such as Monmouth (23,100 pounds) located in Wales? The obstacle of Welsh accent is definitely not a problem for a Form 6 student who is unlikely to be familiar with Welsh accent in two years’ time.

Unlike lower forms, there are some F.6 boarding places left upon the release of GCSE results in every school in late August 2013. Even for the elite Colchester Royal Grammar School, one of my friends was notified by Colchester to admit his son in late August though he eventually declined the offer.

My elder son submitted applications for Form 6 as late as in February this year and was admitted by all the applied schools. There is still much time left to avoid making hasty decision.

多謝各位提點。學校是 Agent 介紹而收到 offer 要決定選校。小兒程度一般,投考 higher ranking schools 有難度,就算入到,讀書亦有壓力。所以中上學校較為合適,兩年後希望能進入比較理想大學就讀。本人曾參閱上述學校之校網, ISI Inspection Report, Ofsted Report 和學校排名表等, 誚問是否 Kent College Canterbury 較好?  校風如何? 該校的亞洲/香港學生比例如何? 請多指教!
