Thanks.  

Besides performance of public exams, what are the other strenghs of Badminton which make it surpass Headington?

My impression is that Headington's admission  procedure is more sincere & serious than Badminton.  The former requires 2 interviews and its entrance exam script is difficult than the former.

Actually, academically I think Headington is just as good as Badminton.
In fact this year they rank even higher than Badminton!
My preference for Badminton stems purely from my own personal feeling only.
While the majority of students at Badminton are boarders, only 1/3 of Headington students are.
(I feel that it may make some kids more homesick seeing others going home every day!)
Also, Badminton put all the kids from the same year in the same boarding house - a policy I rather like.
Anyway, my daughter is in neither of these two schools, so I'm afraid I can't give you any concrete detailed analysis.

Different schools have different policies, but in general, application to Year 9 (equivalent to F.3) requires an examination.
Many schools use the Common Entrance Exam while others have their own entrance exam.
The level of the exams should be similar but of course the better the school, the hotter the competition & therefore the higher the standard required.
Students will be tested at English, maths, & science.
Some schools will also test on French, general paper...etc.
Badminton has her own entrance exam (a 3 hours written exam) - you can either arrange through Academic Asia or make your own arrangement for the exam to be taken at the British Council or your own school.
I'm afraid I don't know about the arrangement for the other 3 schools.
