亞大讀的官校全校只得2個香港人，約有50%英國人，25%南亞裔人，10%非洲人，15%唔識講或寫中文的中國人，如國內人想考，收的機會微乎其微，就算收了相信都唔易追上，因學校鼓勵自我學習，功課唔多，放學後冇任何活動或補課，阿仔通常返回boarding house睡覺才做功課或同一班同學出市中心行下至每晩9時前才返boarding house。

就算考那個exam board都有分別，誰然大家都是GCE, edexcel是最易攞分，OCR難D , AXA是眾多GCE/GCSE board最深，但都不夠Cambridge Pre U深，一些進取的名校都轉考Cambridge Pre-U或AXA而捨棄Edexcel.

Odelia,

The boarding places for year 10 are very few for every school.

I think it is better to send your son in 2014 rather than in 2015.

Odelia,

If you decide to send your son in 2015, your son may better take a foreign language subject such as French, Spanish etc by now so that he can catch up with the GCSE curriculum.

I meant formal course aiming for GCSE Spanish and not interesting class for Spanish.

I have several friends' kids who were not allowed to study French after one term's fresh start study in French in Year 10.

I understand that there are several commercial org teaching GCSE Spanish in HK and the tuition fee is about $400 per lesson.

Your kid of course can drop the foreign language as many schools would request the sub-standard student to drop the subject lest the fair GCSE results jeopardize the school ranking.

Some of my friends' kids even study three subjects such as Latin, French and German. If the school provides free tuition on foreign language subjects, why not take it and prepare beforehand before studying abroad?

what is the difference between public school and private school in UK?

State schools require students holding EU/British passports while independent schools do not have such requirement. Also, high ranked state schools have strict  age requirements and HK students normally have to jump one form.

The boarding fee of state school is about 10,000 pounds per year while the school fee together with boarding fee of independent schools are about 23,000 to 33,000 pounds per year.

This year, my son was admitted by independent schools with school fees of about 32,000 pounds and I finally gave up those offers and chose a state school with 10,400 pounds boarding fee only.

我阿仔間官校只用4本書，學校是要家長買，但在香港買不到，阿仔是入學後從師兄買舊書。以我所識的朋友，只有小兒是要自己買書，間間學校都會幫學生買書。

AS Level 4科每科1本書教足1年, 所以只得4本書，不過他考的是OCR board, 比Edexcel較難擺A.

英國大學的入學資格與入學的身份，是兩樣獨立的考慮。入學資格當然是看成績，要以本土生的身份入讀英國的大 ...

除咗入大學前住滿三年，要有一個本地的住址證明及父母的本地security number(?), 所以友人的女兒放暑都會在英國搵份part time 工作做，以證明她是以英國為家。

不過Local rate都幾貴，成9000磅，同海外生14000磅學費比，所慳好小。
