Hi RobertPaPa,
Did you browse the school's website and study the Ranking of this school? The ranking is going up and down every year.
You will find lots of information from both.
My daughter is now studying Year 9 there.  She is happy as the academic standard is not high.  No pressure at all.
Good environment and staffs are nice and helpful.  According to my knowledge, there are few Hong Kong students admit every year.
Outstanding of Boarding Report these years.
If you are not looking for high academic exam results, this one is a good choice, happy learning.

Is Mr. Pavis interviewing your boy? He is the dirctor of boarding
I think there is no mainland chinese.  As you know, students should hold EU or UK passports
not much from Hong Kong, I think 10 something for the whole school and some are came from Macau
I don't use guardian agent, my friend acts as guardain of my daughter.  Sorry can't help
You may browse relevant topics of this forum, could find some

Children are pure and decent, I think.  Day school students are coming from Steyning or other villages nearby.  Some boarding students are coming from Europe and/or Africa, like Germany, Spain, Nigeria... etc
As least, I didn't hear any bullying incident from my daughter.

Hello. My friend's daughter also goes to Year 9 there. She said the matron is called Beverley Philpott.  My friend's daughter is very pure and very kind. She enjoys Art very much She doesn't have excellent feedback about the school but she says it is OK. We use the same guardian company so I can give you information if you are interested.
