Cranbrook School and Lancaster Royal Grammar School

Grateful to have comment from the parents of both schools, thanks.

多謝大家的意見。 小兒剛考了Cranbrook的Y10入學試，在等候結果中。近日Lancaster 又email 我說有位，通過入學試便可入讀。

由於兩所學校的Alevel成績都很好，因此有點取捨疑難。 以交通及地區計，Cranbrook 的確較為好，但LRGS的排名較高及偏辟，也是專心唸書的好地方。

另外，也希望對這兩家學校的內部情況知多一點，例如學校的drugs & bullying 情況，老師對學生的態度及耐心，boarding 的情況等。 始終小兒要在此校渡過4年，擔心萬一選擇不當就麻煩了。

因此希望有Cranbrook 及Lancaster 的BK 家長或同學能分享一下有關學校的情況，tks.

Dear KK0202, thanks for your comment. From the view of parents, we'd rather like my son grow up in a safe and pleasant environment.

We have heard some rumours for LRGS that bullying was reported to school but was swept into carpet. We feel not comfort if we send our son to a school ignoring bullying. It's bcos my son aldy suffered in his F.1 at a B1A school in Hong Kong. We can't afford him to be hurted again. That's why I want to seek comment from the insiders instead of choosing school by acedemic ranking only.

For Cranbrook, the Year10 on-line exam covering verb-reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and quantitive reasoning. It was taken at British Council and last for 150min (50 min for each). My son spent about 120 min to complete.   

My son either join Cranbrook (if get an offer) or apply Adams and the Royal Grammar in coming autumn for 2015 Y10 intake through AA.

Thanks. For Year 9 intake, they need to take at the UK. But, Y10 may take at British Council at cost $1,200 only..

我可能說得不清楚，由於小兒是apply今年九月入學的Year10,心儀的state boarding只有Cranbrook 及LRGS表示有小量boarding place，故在此請教大家。
經与小兒细心分析後，已婉拒LRGS.

昨晚已經收到Cranbrook回覆，表示小兒已經通過了入學試，做埋interview就可以出offer.

還有一事請教大家，小兒現唸F２，由於是I月出世，按UK制度要唸Y１０，對小兒來说，可以應付嗎？
