如果間學校咁好 , 點解大部分是海外學生 , 冇英國人讀??


在網上找到一份
政府2016年的視學報告 , 當中有一些負面資料
http://careinspectorate.wales/docs/cssiw/report/inspection_reports/00006991_1_e.pdf


The students’ day to day experience at the college was busy with lessons starting at 8amand often continuing until late evening and on Saturdays. Some said they were able tomanage these demands; some said they had little time to do anything other than to studyand some said that they felt pressured on a daily basis and worried about failing to meetthe demands of their studies. Feedback and our observations indicated that the studentswere under considerable pressure though staff members were responsive in providingthem advice and support.


.... ...


A number of students had been found to have significant physical and mental healthsupport needs that had not been disclosed by their parents which had impacted on theirwelfare and their ability to remain at the college. In the absence of such information, thecollege had been unable to fulfil its duty to safeguard and promote their welfare.

另外 , 這間學校涉及一些法律問題 , 警察作出調查


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff_Sixth_Form_College


In November 2016, the former trustees of the College were the subject of an inquiry by the Charities Commission due to failure to submit their accounts on time. The Charity Commission has identified regulatory concerns about the charity’s governance, financial management and significant related party transactions between the charity and some of its former trustees. An interim manager was appointed to oversee the running of the college over the course of the inquiry. South Wales Police were looking into potential fraud at the college by the former trustees.

似一問學店,如接受此等學習,不如留在香港上補習班算啦!

其實你嘅目標好明確,你話心儀牛劍、英、美等比較出名大學(但對medi 又冇特別濃厚興趣),希望入Cardiff 能增加入牛劍機會。首先Cardiff 的敎學模式未必好適合申請入美國出名嘅大學,因為美國大學注重學業成績嘅同時亦十分注重ECA。至於想增加入牛劍機會,就要看看 Cardiff 嘅 University Destinations先。2017年有156個學生,入牛劍而唔係讀medi 嘅就有12人。即係大概8%。有幾點要考慮,首先依批人大部分都係攞4個A*。第二,這樣的percentage怎樣compare with你細路嘅現有學校。第三,為咗咁嘅percentage去放棄現有嘅校園生活etc.值唔值得。至於Cardiff 會否增加考入英國其他出名大學嘅機會,亦應作出同樣考慮。我懶,無睇Cardiff 2016及2015University Destinations 嘅 data。你可入Cardiff website, 作出比較。

朋友個仔去年九月轉入Cardiff, 之前讀個間都是很好的學校,有很多的課外活動,由於他想回港讀醫科,想專心讀書,所以唔介意密集式的訓練,所以轉校!每個人的要求都不同,之前的JM嘅分析都很中肯,希望幫到你!

Cardiff 學校設備的簡陋,眾所週知,但仍然吸引一眾有能力學生,物以類聚地接受高濃度學習模,專心去完成A-level,  這個學習氣氛很不一樣。小班教學,最好的老師不外乎是 facilitator 引領啟發,反而同學在遇強越強下能互相推進學習,我覺得這才最重要。

其實Cardiff 展現學習環境,有一點像把很有要求大學生活,推前讓學生體驗。學生自己完全掌控時間分配。聽過來人説,由於大部分假期學生會選擇留校,有更多時間彈性結伴去在英國深度遊,挑讀大學的free open lectures,masterclass,所以同學之間感情很好,亦由於大家都是轉校生,目標一致,不用適應名牌中學的文化包袱,所以比較容易結交好朋友。

BCC年前曾經為Cardiff 拍過特輯,名為Britain Brainiest School。 片中提及有一位自稱Tiger Mom的靈魂人物和創辦人,她其實已經離開。學校在負面消息不斷情況下買盤給一間教育機構。我反而有疑惑這對學校的影響。利申:我沒有小朋友在Cardiff在讀,只認識一些舊生,都是很有個性想法的年輕人,不能跟死讀書劃上等號。

Not sure what exactly you meant by 專攻牛劍的課程. I think many UK secondary schools (like my son's school) do provide special support to Oxbridge applicants. My son's school has a designated Oxbridge coordinator, who would organise seminars, 1:1 consultation sessions, extra tuitions for Oxbridge aptitude entrance exams (tutored by subject teachers), arrange mock interviews (internal by subject teachers and extra mocks by external experts) etc for the Oxbridge applicants.
