CPU1995,
As you mentioned " Even it is a state school without school fee, I will not consider my younger son applying his elder brother's state school though the learning atmosphere is excellent in this school."

May I know the reasons? What are the facts making you not to consider sending your younger son to the same state school? Would you please tell me more about the UK state boarding schools? How about their facilities and standards? For the top state boarding schools, are they really very difficult to enter? Impossible for a student with average performance in HK schools to enter?

I believe my younger son is totally unsuitable to place in the enviornoment of my elder son's school notwithstanding it has a very good ranking with nearly 40% students achieving at least 10As in GCSE last year.

Mainly becasue my elder son's school is a weekly boarding school with no compulsory after-school activities, little homework, no extra tuition class, one subject one textbook and highly free autonomy for students to do anything before sleeping hours.

I don't know whether it is difficult to enter a top state boarding school. For my elder son's state school, it admitted two Hong Kong students last year.

Personally, I do think that the pastol care, accomodation and varieities of ECAs of independent schools must surpass state schools.
