Dear CPU1995,

請問你兒子在Wymondham讀Year幾呀?  我兒子今年9月會讀Year 9.  會住在Fry House.  他現在開始感到有壓力同好緊張.  請分享一下你兒子最初怎去適應?  Boarding house matron照顧如何, 能照顧到每個boarder嗎?  Pre-time是否有老師on duty幫補習嗎?  你用那門間Guardian agent? 唔好意思咁多問題.  Thank you!

阿女升Sixth Form, 想幫佢搵一間更有讀書風氣的學校,而Sir Roger 也應該會適合她。而且她自己也說在Steyning 讀了三年,想轉一吓環境。
Sir Roger 係一間比較傳統既學校,感覺比較古版、校舍比較舊。但讀書氣氛應比Steyning 好,佢地舊年A level 成績都很好,Sir Roger是UK 的164間state grammar school之一。

如果带香港医生開的普通旅行药,會不會被收呀?可不可以带中药呢
每間學校都有唔同rules,但絶大多數要將medicine 交比matron 處理,需要時至問佢攞返,但自己keep,佢地都唔會知。
中藥佢地更加唔知係乜,比佢地知道,一定唔建議你食,但自己收埋藥物就好像在違法,自己要考慮情況。

我都問佢點解A level 考 7 科, 佢話英國好悶, 所以考多幾科 佢由細到大d 數都好好, 小學讀Victoria, 中學男拔, 考完末代會考去英國, Cambridge 好多假期, 假期特別長,佢而家一有假期就回港幫人補習, 搵生活費及機票錢.

Dear CPU1995,

請問你兒子在Wymondham讀Year幾呀?  我兒子今年9月會讀Year 9.  會住在Fry House.  他現在 ...
My younger son is studying Year 9 now.

During the first 2 months in school, he has experienced something of a culture shock and feelings of homesickness as a result of his first experience of boarding school life and has had to adjust quickly to the way in which things are done in Wymondham.  After 2 months' adptation, he obviously has to find his feet and adapt to domestic school life.  He does interact with other boys in his dorm happily and does have many friends in house and year group.

He is involved in sports for nearly two hours a day and sleeps at 9:30 pm while wakes up at 6:30 am.  During prep time, all Year 9 students will go to the ground floor of the house to do homework.  I am not sure whether there is a student mentor or school tutor but my son normally finishs all homework within half an hour.  After bedtime at 9:30 pm, the house master and matron will patrol the dorm evey half hour and will confiscate the mobile phone or laptop if student still uses it after bedtime.  The soft drink is expensive (1.6 pounds) so he drinks water every day.  During term break, the school would provide schoool mini-bus to Thetford coach station and student can buy 11 pounds National Express coach ticket for travelling from Thetford coach station to Heathrow terminal though the journey lasts for 4 hours.

In order to help newcomers in transition to life in Wymondham, I think the housemaster has already done great job.  As a parent, you may Whatsapp or Skype him every day.  You may also request your guardian to visit your son regularly.  Since my elder son is studying in UK, he sometimes travels from his University to visit his younger brother in Wymondham during weekend.

If you son can participate sports or join activity in Wymondham, I am sure that he can make new friends and adapt to the life of Wymondham not before long.   You may also consider sending your son back in HK during his first Oct half-term breadk.

Up to now, my younger son finds himself tremendously lucky to have opportunity to study in Wymondham College and his only compliant is the lack of quality food in the school.

Fyi, my guardianship company is http://mission-links.com (1,395 guardianship fee) though most HK students would use White House (695 guardianship fee).

Some people said there sre not many boarding  places in Royal Grammar. Seems not many boarding activities. Is it true? Does it have any control on using IT?

排名高的官校很難入,位少宿位少活動少中國人少,較適合內向的學生,唔難想像有人會考10科8科7科A level。

舊制不難理解,當年香港名校考10科,在英考A L容易拿A望A*,英官校很少活動,連義工服務極少有。。。

There are 7x boarding places at Royal Grammar, and 2x are fully board, around 6 to 7 students are coming from HK.  They have a tradition practice, no Cantonese speaking in common area.
And there are many after school activities every day, but not at the weekends.  As my son joins the rugby team, they always have rugby league competitions or training hold at the weekends, it's not worry about, he doesn't have enough activities during weekends.  As a whole, students are very busy every day, no time to "hea".
For those electronic gadget (mobil phone), matron will collect them every night before students turning off the light.  Students would take it back next day.
From my observation during school visit, students are polite, smart and confident.  More or less, they are similar to DBS students
