到英國visit 環境及學校

my_lau_wong

第一次去視察環境，帶埋小朋友去，睇下當地文化同學校，應該第一步去邊區最好？又可以當旅行參觀.... 機場係咪應該揀LHR?
大概去10日夠唔夠呀？
因為想為小朋友讀書作第一步探究一下適合與否....

請問如果先定居sevenoaks, 小朋友係primary school, 到中學時，佢地係自己去考其他區的grammar school? Ok 嗎？
因有朋友提到最好搵某些區分有多間grammar school揀算，直接升讀容易過轉區....
暫時比較喜歡Canterbury and sevenoaks

英國地方咁大，一定有取捨。唔緊要，有機會再去。

多謝你(emoji)(emoji)
另外想問，係網上睇學校評論及形容，有列為outstanding , 而English 1st language 得50 幾%，咁點分別？ 唔想揀些學校唔係英文為主喎
應該點揀學校至啱呢？
謝謝你啊

Also, Reading is compulsory in studying one foreign language (German,French, Spanish, Latin) for GCSE but Adams and RGS is optional.

是否適合做生意，我實在不敢給意見。不過居住環境好的地區，也會是比較富庶的地區。Tunbridge Wells 和 Sevenoaks 比較寧靜，而 Guildford 和 Canterbury 會比較繁忙。 Canterbury 更是旅遊勝地，遊客流量非一般城鎮可比。適合做甚麼生意，還是實地考察後再決定吧。

Adams and RGS can apply through AA. Reading need to apply directly with the school, the deadline is around March  the year prior to the entrance Year so one and half year ahead of the September entrance date. and must sit the exam with rest of the local boys.
Entrance Test:
Adams: English, Maths, verbal and non verbal reasoning
RGS: English, Maths and Science
Reading: Same as Adams but web based, and one piece of English writing

Must submit copy of UK passport on application for All.

謝謝。請問你提及的state school是自已直接聯絡學校嗎? 考試要在英國考?

My days of Grammar School hunting has been completed as my son has started Y9at a Grammar school last September.  There are many good grammar schools in the U.K., the top one being QE in London and many in Kent, Dartford is one of them but they have no boarding; only day school.

For any one who is looking for boy Grammar School for Y7/Y9 entrance.
I recommend the following boarding schools:
Adams near Birmingham - 3 hours away from London Euston
Royal Grammar School High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire - a few train stations from London Marylebone Road
Reading School ( weekly boarding only) in Reading- one train station from Paddington

如果state secondary school, 那個區會比較好?

其實如果只得十數天，真的不要太貪心 - Manchester, Bristol, Ashford, London, 自駕遊也頗辛苦。離開倫敦市中心不遠的地方如 Wimbledon, Dulwich, Richmond 等有很不錯的居住環境，也有很好的學校。而鄰近的 Kent 和 Surrey 郡也有很多十分好的城鎮，如 Guildford, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks 等地方值得考慮。

Thank you for the clarification. Manchester Grammar School may have changed its status from state school to independent school, it is still possible for smart kids to study there for free if they pass the entrance test. All selective grammar schools have their selection based on some entrance tests. MGS is so famous that if it accepted you, you should take it without hesitation. You need to be in the top tier in your year to be able to get in. My source told me that more good state schools can be found around London than Manchester. Check out Dartford Grammar School.

在Swansea 一出火車站已很多的士，細的士都可放到幾件行李。如果在另一個站，雖然近些會平些，但等一個鐘都冇的士經過，太近又難call 到車。

我都住過這間酒店，位罝不錯。由Paddington 去Oxford 都很近，值得走走。在Wales 時可去Cradiff 及 Swansea 觀光。

You may consider Adams School which is near Birmingham

Manchester Grammer School is an independent school now, not a Grammer school. It may have been in the past and changed its status.
