I would suggest St Swithun's
Badmintion School has a much larger proportion of Chinese girls!
Additionally, St Swithun's has a higher ranking than badminton.

爬文見that you are wishing to join sixth form. If this is the case, I think you should pay more attention on their A-Level results.

Such high ranking in the UK means that St Swithun's is exceptionally academic, so you shouldn't worry about their teaching standards.

From what I knew, the number of Chinese students in that school is very low -  (notice this might have changed from year to year). This is a low number comparing to other girls school such as CLC and Badminton where they have a very high number of Cantonese girls, which may suggest that it is a good thing to choose St Swithun's if you really want to learn English well.

I know that about half of the girls are day girls, while the other half are boarders. The school is known to be very academic and sporty. The girls who study there has been from the most prestigious schools in HK such as DGS, MCS and many international schools therefore they should be fairly bilingual

StS exceptionally academic ? Don't understand. I agree it may be slightly better than Badminton academically.

之前有人介紹我睇mumsnet，咁啱有兩個post講St Swithun，你可以去參考下:

一個同Benenden比，另一個同Canford比。

找學校不單看%，看學校出名是文定理定藝科，如成績一様大學看中學評價，一般選讀書氣氛好和師生%及多叻學生(一起溫習，成績多數好)，中國留學生的數好勁，還學多一種語言。。。。

中國留學生唔一定都叻。我朋友個女今年9月入CLC，同級一齊插班有個中國留學生英文麻麻，佢媽咪whatsapp我朋友拜託我朋友個女幫幫佢個女.....。我朋友個女其實唔太願意，因為呢個中國女生時不時送呢樣嗰樣俾D外國同學打關係.....。

mumsne都有當地媽咪話見過部份 Asian graduates 英文都係普普通通。

多謝你介紹嘅網站👍👍
不過似乎我又多一個問題....
應該揀high percentage of full boardin ...

會揀少D中國人，我亦係聽聞Headington多有錢大陸人所以傾向揀第二間。
留宿方面，你係指減去weekly boarders之後實質有幾多人响weekend留响學校?我女有舊同學讀St Swithun's，好似學校會安排活動俾佢地呢類外國留學生，功課忙亦會多人留校。

其實點揀要睇自己想要乜唔想要乜，我都驚揀錯!!!

中國留學生的英文是較弱，但數—定不差
