I have ties with Tonbridge School and their students and parents appreciate traditional values and ethos of the school. This is more important than just academic alone for admission. It is not as difficult to get in as one thinks.

I think all UK schools accept few year 10 la, comparing to year 9 and 12. My son was not accepted by Tonbridge right away, he was very lucky to got in finally as someone gave up the place.

Information from website says that Tonbridge only accepts very few students at year 10. Your son must be very smart!

Harrow School for Boys and Winchester College.

If Tonbridge is too far reaching, then Winchester should be the same if not farer la. Harrow should be easier (academically) though.

But it is also hard to say for admission test. My son got rejected by CharterHouse but got admitted by Tonbridge, for year 10

我的兒子都是讀緊中二, 今年9月去讀Y9.
Y10的位較少, 你要睇多幾間學校, 到今年8-9月就要報名, 9月面試, 10-11月考入學試, 11-12月就會收到offer. 大部份成績好的學校都收不少香港學生, boarding house大與小亦要配合每個人的性格, 學校的校風及關顧更為重要.

Broomsgrove School位於Birmingham外圍，屬2nd tier UK boarding schools。2015 AL 85% A*-B，61% A*-A，成積算唔錯，仲有2名學生入Cambridge，4個入Oxford，但大部份唔係熱門學科。
學校口碑幾參差，有好有唔好，好評主要係學校成積不俗，負評大多有關校風同學生紀律，可能同學校收取大批來自鄰近地區的Day Students有關。

學校屬大校，由幼稚園開到高中，全校學生人數超過1,600人，但宿生比例低，只佔全校總人數25%，對此我個人有保留，唔係太鍾意。

多謝大家的意見, 想知多啲呢幾間學校的comments. 我囝囝啲音樂唔叻，課外活動大多係運動(係參與唔係攞獎), 不過讀書都幾好尤其係數理。
佢性格比較細路,讀男女校我驚contrast仲大

你的兒子打算幾時去讀Y10? 如果是今年的話, 大部份前列的學校已經截止申請, 你要快些搵agent幫忙看看那些學校仍有位. 上次去睇展覽, 留意到有間學校-Whitgift School, 成績不錯, 但是boarding house細, 大部份是香港人.

同意anglo-chinese所言，比較好嘅UK Boarding Schools Year 9已經收晒學生，想Year 10入會好困難。更重要喺小朋友需要時間適應新環境，亦需要｢埋堆｣結識新朋友。Year 9 入學有2年先至考 GCSE，亦會有一定數量新生同時間入學，容易識朋友。如果可以，請重新考慮俾仔仔早D入學。如果唔可以，我個人認為等多一年入Sixth Form相對會好D。

如果一定要Year 10入學，男校可考慮以下學校，或許會有機會仍有小數學位：

Monmouth, Oratory, Sherbone

如果接收男女校，可考慮：

Epsom, Leys,Shrewsburry
