Day Student in Boarding School

好頭痕，出年移民英國，而家幫緊啲仔女睇學校。大女升year 7, 細仔升 year 5， 而家讀緊一間唔錯嘅國際學校。

問題唻喇
（1）因為要就老公返工，所以揾嘅學校不能離倫敦區太遠，最多1.5小時嘅距離。
（2）想揾間有小學直升中學嘅, 但好多大家提及嘅學校都由year 9 開始，真係唔想過去兩年又要考過....
（3）最理想係 co edu, 唔駛分兩間

集合以上條件嘅，我只係揾到 Caterham School, 請問仲有冇多啲提議？我真係揾到頭都大，謝謝各位!

city of freeman 要經agent?! 我email 問收唔收year 10 插班生.。已say no (emoji)

City of Freeman可以自己報, Year 10得好少位, 係麻煩d.  不過你報2022 Year 10?

多謝你，City of Freeman 會在考慮之列，佢website 話要經 agent 申請，你會唔會知係邊間agent?

另外一間 ...

我嘅 agent 都冇收費,照我所知 agent 只係向學校收費用. 亦可能係不成功不收費嗰種. (Correct me if I am wrong.)

不過我嘅 agent 啲介紹唔係好啱心水,最後都係要自己落手落腳去揀學校同埋報名.

每間學校個 website 都有一個好清楚嘅 Admissions page, 應該唔難搞.就算截止咗報名,都可以畀個 email 佢哋問一問,通常都好快會有回覆.

依家我全家喺 Cambridge 落腳,我公司喺 central 倫敦.

喺英國個零鐘頭嘅 commute time 係非常非常之普遍.我有同事未 lockdown 之前每日都要用兩小時返公司.

我哋依家喺英國基本上冇乜夜生活,所以(就算依家work from home)每日六點零鐘起身根本冇難度.每朝都可以整早餐食,過去幾十年喺香港都未試過. :)

B agent也有offer free application day school list, 可以問下

i think we use the same agent!
之前我家姐問過幾間agent，唔收錢幫人申請真係唔多。同埋好似樓主咁講，俾幾個名你就算。B agent起碼屬學校，講明邊d做到，邊d做唔到要收錢。

Not all of the schools offer commission to agents for applying day school that's why some agents would charge you for application! beware of what they cover
I have been to another agent - they have a list of day school that wont charge parents. but they will charge if you apply schools that are not on the list. I think it is a fair move to tell parents which they can assist, and which cannot.

My sister applied day places in Leighton Park and Reddam House through them - didn't charge her fee

I applied day student in Boarding school via AA or you can apply day school by yourself. The key point for day school application is that the most of schools cannot offer T4 visa.

請問邊間agent

Agent is AA

Actually you can also enroll by yourself. There was one school which I applied for Day place by myself (school within top 50 in boarding school league).

I submitted application online, make registration fee via bank, communicated with school via email, zoom interview, conduct remote entrance exam (teacher invigilating students over zoom ~ initially they asked us to sit for exam at British council, but then uk lockdown, hence zoom).Daughter got accepted & was given scholarship (scholarship interview by 4 different panels, all via zoom).

Hence, it is completely viable to apply directly by ourselves.Schools very accommodating, eg, they knew we are from hk, hence always gave us earliest time slot so that we will start exam or interview in evening.

My experience is different. My daughter just got an offer from an independent prep school in a town one hour from London. The schools I contacted so far are mostly accommodating in terms of assessment process as long as they have places.

Even half an hour is too long for travel. I suggest you focus on London schools
