Hi I am in Kent, just outside London, there are a lot of Grammar schools in the county, I looked at London and the figures (now I cant remember which web site I checked though), it seems like its not easy in London, many good private schools are extremely hard to get in too. Also London is an expensive city!

However, I do like London very much, it takes only 30 mins plus to get to London from my place, hence sometimes, I still go out with my kid to museum and shops etc. I think its a perfect location for me.
Quiet and yet close to action

I only checked the area near tower bridge, London, last year, most of the good schools are faith schools and in order to choose them, u need proof that u belong to their church, I am not sure if they accept proof from HK's church, but the best one I wanted to get in did require over 3 years church attendance "proof", hence it wont really work for me. Apart from the faith school, other schools in the area are not standing out.

我都有考慮過辭職，我拎住BNO 陪阿仔响英國讀書。我仔11歲，在ESF 讀完year 7, 上個月有一間Grammar School 收咗佢讀Year 9, 變相讀小一年慳好多。
而家如果BNO holder 的子女都可享受到國民的教育，我會考慮過去陪佢

其實我睇埋英國樓價(非倫敦), 唔算貴，而日常所須(如買餸)仲平過香港的超市，所以好心動，當然…保險／稅項／電費／女貴／交通都貴過香港

回覆 RKG 的帖子

全英國有百幾間Grammar School , 唔一定要在倫敦讀，早啲搵定心儀地區及心儀學校，再搵agent 留意返心儀學校招生日期。最重要係，小朋友的英文能達到學校要求，
當日我個仔有用Google Meet 同學校做interview ，基本要求可以流利地同學校溝通

原來Agent都可以幫手搞政府學校，我以為佢哋淨係搞私立同寄宿學校。

另外，需否做卷，還是只要interview? Thanks!

Just be prepared that IS in HK is much better resourced than a state school in the UK. But of course there are many other considerations for moving to the UK.
I read the following in the Guardian recently so just for sharing, and also gives some insight into British families' perspective of state Vs private schools:

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2020/jul/26/anxious-middle-classes-look-to-private-schools-after-coronavirus-disruption?

It says in April during school closures, only 3% of state primary and 6% of state secondary provided online lessons. Though ofcourse I'm unsure of the reliability of the survey done.

This is also true in HK. As far as I know many local schools do only provide limited learning instructions during school closures while IS provide daily learning materials and online learning.

But, the reasons behind are the same. Parents are paying so much for school fees so the school needs to do something to fulfill the parents' expectation. Otherwise, they can't justify how they can still get the school fees while the school is closed.
