According to my experience, kids in ESF were not encouraged to apply high schools in UK. Those higher education and career staff were not very helpful with application process (May be due to work overload). Teachers  were unable to write recommendation by the rules of ESF (?).  I know some ESF kids admitted to very top high schools in UK which really depends on individual talents and parents' background. ESF schools are roughly among the middle level of non-selective schools in UK. Its academic level is far behind those top schools in UK (Sorry to say the fact).

I am very surprised!!Why are they not willing to  (or unable to)  provide whatever assistance students need to apply to high schools in the UK? Work load? Well, this is their job duty, right? They can talk to school management and ask them to hire more people to do the job. But they cannot refuse to help!

Recommendations or reference letters, whatever they are called, are basic things that high schools or universities ask for when a student is filing an application. This is really nothing fancy. Just part of the job of the school counsellor.

So, what exactly are they willing to do?

You comments sounds really negative. And that is the total opposite of comments from most other parents who consider EFS as one of the best.

Isn't higher edu and career dept supposed to offer advice for universities and/or education beyond graduation at high school but not transferring to another high school whether it be in HK or another country?

If my comments are very negative, I welcome parents whose experiences are very positive to share their UK high schools application process in ESF.

Seems your experience was really tough with ESF.  

My girl transited to a UK IB school last August.  ESF was cooperative and supportive during application and transition.  I am appreciated for the school and teachers' kindness.  

The update good news is my daughter's senior graduated from ESF(yr 1- yr 13),  who just got the full scholarship to study PHD degree in Oxford and will start the teaching job at LSE after summer.  I do feel proud of her and have passed my congratulations to her parents last week.  She is only 22 years old.  

I agree  ESF schools are not on top level in academic results. It is true they are in middle level in lower and middle school roughly.  However, most of ESF students can learn, enjoy to learn, and keep learning.  It is their own choice to choose how far they want to go........

Recommendations can be quite different from reference letters.


I have a friend who failed to get a "positive" recommendation letter from the IS her son studied in. I think it is not quite possible to ask a school to "recommend" a student to another school, if the student does not have the quality that deserve positive comments.

All ESF schools have their own character.  It doesn't matter which one.  It is nice to share their achievements and happy for those hard working students and parents.  But no need to use the advanced achievements to define them and the schools.  They are just kids grown up in very ordinary schools.

今時今日是學業成績通漲年代，追求無瘕疵的優秀成績，成為家長界的普遍現象。

前兩天才跟朋友蓋歎，怎麼近年大學總是收錄不少高分的驕滴滴女生入醫學院？本人不是對女孩有意見，而是這批孩子的養育方式，十分人工化。從前的孩子進得好學校，無論貧富，須要倚靠自己摸索努力而成績好。今天十分盲摸摸也沒問題，因為有很多人手餵養。

朋友的女孩日常上學便服，也要幾萬元，志願是做醫生，因為夠叻。如果入左醫學院，究竟會唔會甘心每日的十幾萬衣飾蓋在白袍之下？

孩子有盡責，喜歡讀書就好了。其他的，不要想得太多，反正無論幾叻，收左成績單，又要重新開始，照樣有機會在下一站大敗。
