我阿仔現在Tonbridge 讀緊Y10,學校讀書氣氛很好，生活上的照顧也令我放心。佢試過隻手受傷，Matron即時駕車帶佢睇急症，之後覆診也是車出車入陪佢，亦有email 話我知佢的情況。每次放假機場接送也安排得很好，無論你同大家一齊搭coach 或搭的士都會安排妥當，你只要通知學校搭邊班機就可以。課外活動也多，亦有唔同的trip可以參加。仔非常喜歡學校，話俾滿分

我們今年二月已經參觀過這兩校(去面試兼參觀), 我的小朋友兩間學校都好鐘意. 好幸運地 ...

可否請教你的申請過程是怎樣? 我而家先知原來可以2019 年已經拎到2021 年學位，希望可以知多啲幫小朋友預備，謝謝你!

仔仔沒有特別喜歡男校或男女校, 另外, 他不太喜歡樂器.

似乎Tonbridge 真是一間幾全面的學校,多謝你的分享, 如果他最後選擇Tonbridge的話, 我小朋友會在2021年入讀 year 9, 希望到時可以再問你多些關於該校的問題。 謝謝!

Thank you for your sharing, it seems your son had a wonderful time in Tonbridge.  Your son is studying in university now?

Sorry that I reply you in English because I type English is faster than Chinese.  
Briefly to say, you have to know the registration deadline of your targeted school.  Those information can be found in the school website.  Most of the top schools require the applicant to register 3 years before the actual entry year.  (My son registered in June 2018 for Tonbridge and Wellington.)  Then, you have to prepare to take ISEB common pretest or their entrance exam.  (Both Tonbridge and Wellington require their applicant to take common pretest.)  After taking the test, the school will notify you that your kid will have interview or not.  (Both Tonbridge and Wellington would have an assessment day for applicant if they think the pretest result of applicant is acceptable.)  At last, the school will contact you the result of interview.

Wish you have a brief idea about the application process. Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed reply. so where did you take the pretest exam?  in HK? and how did you manage to go to UK to take the interview for both schools given their interview date may be different? thanks

My son took the Pretest in HK.  Luckily, Wellington has few days for us to choose and one of the days can fall into the same week as Tonbridge assessment day.

Nil complaint was heard from other parents

Personally recommend Wellington because its more well-rounded and very good pastoral/academic/extra-curricular support. Might be biased though!

From the academic perspective, it is hard to pick one.

I think perhaps to consider - single sex vs co-edu; location; campus; house condition; surrounding environment etc.

哈哈！原來是幸福的煩惱！
弓喜弓喜！兩間都係好學校！

可以考慮埋學校環境，例如你去探佢嘅話，附近多唔多酒店揀？治安好唔好？⋯

Hi Brianmommy, would you mind to tell why did you choose Judde House for your son in the beginning? Do you have any specific reason to choose it?  Thanks!

We didn’t choose the house. It was arranged by the school.
