Got it. I heard some state primary students saying "their schools help them to get into the Grammar schools that they want" in some school prospectus things. Wonder if some schools will still prepare the kids in subtle or unofficial ways given the government actually bans it?
And yes, so true for the no free lunch thing no matter where the your kids are.

都唔係架，state primary 都好多人考到grammar 同好嘅day school . 大量閱讀，Atom learning 加做練習已經好夠。

11+主要係操卷同速度
如果操完11+，再考Independent school ，只要搞返掂writing及interview已經ok . YouTube 都幫到手唔需要補習。

State primary 基本上係不會、政府亦不容許操11+
私校就睇下邊間，定位係考grammar的就會操，定位考私校的就唔會。

識得考到11+的都係要自己揾補習操卷
而考到的又多數係來自private prep
（我可能識人少會有bias）

至於以前喺香港係讀IS定local、私校定津校，同考唔考到反而無咩關係
要點係早啲揾返啱同有經驗嘅補習老師和練習來預備

另外UK相對香港出路多同闊，non academic 都有好多出路。如果諗住要academic 就全世界一樣無免費午餐，只可說適合academic 嘅就自然一樣快樂學習

I see, that makes sense - thank you so much! My kids are going to a pure IB school and hence I wonder how difficult is it for them to transition into the UK curriculum in the future… and would say making the switch at Y6 / Y7 be too late?

Ps. Our kid fits well with our school’s program at primary years so we are not quite motivated to switch if we continue to stay in Hk - just thinking we do need to plan ahead if we were to move back to the uk one day.

Grateful if anyone may share any similar experience / thoughts. :)

當年要考UKiset , 所以就搵咗個老師補數學、因為學校未教。
我地有屋喺英國 (就係喺Kent 嗰間學校既catchment zone), 申請grammar school 時，要比地址證明，先可以安排考筆試和interview . 當年我先生有同grammar school 溝通過，知道我兩個女喺香港讀書，所以，就安排咗7月頭（－放暑假即飛英國）去學校interview 和考筆試。

Thanks for your sharing. Yes indeed many parents say ESF is not academically vigorous enough and fighting for a grammar school place (depending on which tier of course) could be very demanding in terms of preparation. Did you take additional courses for your daughters before sitting the 11+? And did you take the exam in UK with an address there? Some of them have catchment. Thanks!

我以－個’用家‘媽媽身份答你。我對女（孖女），由細到大都係讀ESF, 兩個同樣地考Kent 某間grammar school 都收咗，不過，最終，我先生都係比佢哋讀boarding school 而放棄咗grammar school, 大孖返去讀Y9, 細孖返去讀Y12.
細孖喺ESF 考IGCSE，成績都非常好，所以，我唔覺得ESF 比state school 差。

謝謝解答，這是否就是有些學校分set嘅意思？

英制學校有分set，IB似乎無。我主要想講IB對學生無「合格」嘅要求，返咗學就得，而「英制」似乎都有啲「合格」嘅標準，咁唔同set嘅要求係有啲唔同，最高同最低set可以差半年嘅程度。
