煩惱中，Cardiff 收左我個仔，應否轉校？

bristol

Cardiff Sixth Form College 是一間補習社 (tutorial college)，跟在深水埗/旺角商業大廈的大型補習社類似，不是一間英國的傳統學校，入學的主要是海外學生(中國、香港、馬來西亞、非洲、中東)，個幕後老闆(Aatif Hassan)都是中東人，你上youtube睇，間學校只有幾間課室，一般學校的設施欠奉。  

如果你只想考取好 A-level 成績入大學，這間學校可以助你達到願望，其他的中學校園生活就沒有了。。。   好成績 vs 全人教育；是不同人的選擇

補習社的教學模式與傳統學校有很大差異，補習社著重操卷，導師很多都是改卷員(Examiners)，他們教授學生回答考試題目取得高分的技巧。 Cardiff Sixth Form College 的學生是否精英，我有保留，但我同意這間學校的成績比大部分學校好。  

我很多朋友的仔女在英國中學寄宿留學，他們返香港放假的時候，都會到銅鑼灣的補習社，密集式補習/操卷，提升成績 。。。  A-level 比 HKDSE/IB  較容易，只讀四科，不用考中文/英文，冇通識科，選擇科目有彈性(可以偏重文科或理科)，學生肯操卷便可以拿得理想成績

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

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

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.

早前很多家長亦對這間學校有負面評價
