Yes, this has been discussed before. IF your primary target is getting into a top UK university. The best way to go is to stay in LS until age 14-15, and then send him to a top boarding school in UK:

Note though, that both 21Ckid & myself both chose IS over LS, since we believe in a more balanced and broader lifestyle for our children. Life is not just about school marks and getting into a good University.
Both my brothers left home early for boarding school, and i have seen the damages it has done on them (one of them was in a top boarding school in UK, then he studied engineering at a top university in USA; still single and not very happy at age 50+).
Studies has been done extensively on people's happiness factors. In terms of income, about HK equivalent to 30K a month is sufficient; anything higher than that does not add to one's happiness. (of course we need to take inflation into consideration, but basically a decent profession is fine, there's no need to aim for Oxbridge or become a top professional unless the child is naturally capable. 勉強冇幸福) The most significant factor however, is RELATIONSHIPS. Having a close circle of friends and healthy family relationship is the prime factor in determining if a person is happy or not.
為孩子做這麼多,最後還不是希望他們有一個快樂幸福的人生嗎?
