Any comments for Wymondham College, UK State Boarding School

odelia_ho

Hi all,

As topic.  Any comments?

今日收倒學校回覆, 佢地現在不會收Year 10, 因囡囡現年13, 想在今年或出年入boarding.
已問過幾間, 都是入waiting 或唔入住, 我知道Wymondham 每年summer 都會黎HK interview 學生
有人知道詳情嗎? 到時先會收Year 10?

Cheers,

恭禧，恭禧。

聖誕節前，我家收到一份很好的聖誕禮物，是一封來自Wymondham College的信件，他們取錄了小兒入讀明年Year 9。兩個仔好開心，佢地兩兄弟分開了幾個月，明年又可以再次入讀同一間中學，住同一座宿舍，繼續手足情深、互相照應。

好似有些少衝動左, Wy索取學生現就讀的學校攞reference 是指定動作, 咪由得佢攞, 可以再email 回覆佢你誤會 ...

係囉。如有進一步再算罷。

我也曾申請過Wy，但已過了deadline，Wy通知我放入waiting list，如有位才䖏理，所以便等等。突然收到佢地嘅信：又係無位不過要向亞仔間學校攞料，昨天亞仔嘅老師問左6條入學面試問題，但最衰我email鬧Wy：如果你們沒有學位就無需要向我仔學校攞資料啦。不知後事如何

They admit quite a lot Chinese boarder from HK.  My experience, they ask student to write 300 words essay after interview.  It's quite a good school.
Last year, I heard that they build some more boarding houses and admit more sixth form students.  (I don't know if it is true)

恭喜！恭喜！

我仔同樣申請Wymondham College Year 9 for 2013, 但仍在等待中，未有著落。  To be honest, Wymondham is pretty good, don't miss the chance.

Steyning Grammar is located in a small village, quiet and peaceful.
The school boarding got the Ofsted outstanding performance this year again.  The boarding facilities and staff supporting are very good. They are care and concern boarders' need.  My daughter is very happy to study there. It is a "happy learning" school.  Hence you want your kids to study hard and get very good result in open exams, I think this school would not be your choice.  You may ask Tommy for more info about Wymondham then.
Regarding guardian issue, as I ask my friend who lives nearby as my daughter's guardian, not very clear about employ of guardian. Other parents of EK may help you.
Hope my info could help

My daughter is going to UK to study year 9 in the coming Sept 2013.  Steyning Grammar School accepts her and asks to pay 800 pounds deposit this month.  Wymondham College also accepts my daughter.  

Agent said Wymondham is better, isn't it ?

A private school also accepts my daughter which the boarding fee is 24,585 pounds a year.  However, Wymondham College only costs me 8,289 a year.  A great difference.........

Which guardian company should I use ?

But worth to pay.  Normally, good private schools' academic standard are higher than state schools
If I have enough money, I would choose private school.....

My daughter will study Y12. And for the college ranking, I use FT.
http://rankings.ft.com/secondary-schools/secondary-schools-2011
BBC and Independent also have their ranking site that you may find them useful. I browsed before but FT is most handy.
