CSF:
Brilliant A Level Exam; somehow Exam Factory; No half-term break; No boarding house; Team break drilling papers; Living in host families; No spare time for ECAs; Ideal for targeting Medicine and Law.

CLC:
Really an ideal typical school with heritage and culture; students can enjoy school life and UK culture and not an exam factory at all.

On the basis that I prefer girls' school to co-ed & I won't consider Cardiff at all as I believe that students there don't have much of a life other than studying!

Fully understood! Thanks all again!
It is really hard to choose while both CLC and CSFC are my dream schools for my daughter, but basically, I believe CLC will be more suitable for my girl.

Cardiff 冇宿舍住，冇假期，冇課外活動，嘅需唔需要著校服？住寄宿家庭又怎様問功課，會唔會終日打機到pub飲酒，是否所有Sixth Form College都是嘅運作，所以學費嘅平？

識得一個讀一間排名約千一的Sixth Form College的女仔，都是住寄宿家庭，讀了一個月同事打電話揾女終日都揾不到，結果飛去英國同個女退學返來香港重讀一年，原來個女晚晚同同學去飲酒。

至於Cardiff成績嘅好，是否讀到中途會勸退成績唔好的學生退學？聞說很多名校都有機制唔比成績一般的學生讀或考嘅多科，以免影響學校排名。

Cardiff website states the school has boarding facilities and ECAs

If not, studying there is like kind of exam machine.

In fact, if you want to be top student in either school, the  quality of student life is similar. Sadness to tell the truth. I heard some students hide themselves in toilet to study in boarding house toilet. Some students even  study until 1-2 am with their small headlights in boarding house. ECA have no time to join.

Many top CLC girls, even in their A-level year, are still engaged in many ECAs such as orchestra, choir, drama, sport teams or community works, many involved in several of these activities, because they know that top courses in top universities value these more than academic excellence alone. They may work very hard till 2am but they are outgoing and enjoy life to the full.

Choisumwong  I am not sure that most girls enjoy life to the full, but many girls are very competitive.  發表於 13-12-23 19:49

"Hiding in a toilet to study ......No time to join ECAs."  咁去 CLC 嚟仲嘜? 不如唔好去仲好啦.  CLC's records said 70% to 80% of the candidates get Grade A* or A in A-Levels.  So getting top grades is nothing special in this school. To be a top student, one has to get top grades PLUS excel in ECAs.  If these kids have to work so hard for so long in order to gain top grades (with no time left for other activities), it is difficult to imagine they are the top students.

Regarding Cardiff Sixth Form College, here is the 2013 result.
http://www.ccoex.com/results.php?id=14

It appears that 62 students got AAA or better. But its website shows only 29 students' university destination.
http://www.ccoex.com/life.php?id=70

Where did the other 33 students who got AAA or better go?  How about those who got less than AAA?  Anybody knows?
