Hi jcw,
You mean Wymondham's principal will come to HK next month? You may ask your agent to give you some "normally ask questions" to study.
By the way, my daughter has got an offer from another school! 一天都光晒!

For girls, Stamford High School is good.  Stamford is an old town and the people there are majority middle class.  It's away from London and the school fee is very reasonable.

Hi CarrieTse,
Stamford is a good school.  However, it's not a state boarding school, money is a concern for many parents :loveliness:.

Hi jcw,
My school agent has confirmed with me that Wymondham's representatives will come to HK in June,  The purpose is interviewing those students who want to admit this September.  And their agenda is quite full.  For those want to apply for 2013, there is a chance to meet them in the coming October in Hong Kong.

My daughter will study Y12. And for the college ranking, I use FT.
http://rankings.ft.com/secondary-schools/secondary-schools-2011
BBC and Independent also have their ranking site that you may find them useful. I browsed before but FT is most handy.

Totally agreed!!!  Good point!!!!  If you check the A*/A/B chart, you will find it's very competitive among schools.

But worth to pay.  Normally, good private schools' academic standard are higher than state schools
If I have enough money, I would choose private school.....

My daughter is going to UK to study year 9 in the coming Sept 2013.  Steyning Grammar School accepts her and asks to pay 800 pounds deposit this month.  Wymondham College also accepts my daughter.  

Agent said Wymondham is better, isn't it ?

A private school also accepts my daughter which the boarding fee is 24,585 pounds a year.  However, Wymondham College only costs me 8,289 a year.  A great difference.........

Which guardian company should I use ?

Steyning Grammar is located in a small village, quiet and peaceful.
The school boarding got the Ofsted outstanding performance this year again.  The boarding facilities and staff supporting are very good. They are care and concern boarders' need.  My daughter is very happy to study there. It is a "happy learning" school.  Hence you want your kids to study hard and get very good result in open exams, I think this school would not be your choice.  You may ask Tommy for more info about Wymondham then.
Regarding guardian issue, as I ask my friend who lives nearby as my daughter's guardian, not very clear about employ of guardian. Other parents of EK may help you.
Hope my info could help
