As part of our Boarding and Secondary School Guidance Programme, we have had the privilege of hosting a series of esteemed UK schools for top secondary school visits this term. These visits have been a tremendous asset to our pupils and parents, providing invaluable insights into the world of boarding at renowned UK secondary schools.
The engaging presentations and firsthand knowledge shared during these visits have created a wonderful opportunity for our entire school community. Parents are warmly invited to attend the presentations, which take place during the school day. This provides an opportunity for the visitors to engage with both our students and parents, fostering a meaningful exchange of ideas and experiences.
Among the notable visits we have had so far are:
Philip Evans, the Deputy Registrar of Harrow School in London
Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Luckett, the heads of both Sherborne Schools – Sherborne School (boys) and Sherborne Girls’ School
Mrs. Alice Phillips, Head of St. Catherine’s School Bramley
Laura Bursey Faulkner, the Director of Admissions from Rugby School
These visits are an integral part of our secondary school boarding and guidance programme. As part of our commitment to supporting our pupils and parents, we offer comprehensive guidance throughout the process of finding the most suitable secondary education opportunities worldwide.
Our programme is designed to assist parents who are interested in accessing the top secondary schools in the UK and around the world for their children, whether at the age of 11+ or 13+ for families who prefer their children to remain in Hong Kong a bit longer.
Led by our Headmaster, our Boarding & Secondary School Guidance Programme is tailored to each individual pupil and family. It includes the following components:
1. Explore, investigate, and research potential secondary boarding schools worldwide.
2. Create a viable shortlist of schools that best suit each pupil’s needs.
3. Provide support and guidance to pupils as they prepare for entry to their chosen shortlisted schools.
4. Identify individual needs and offer additional academic preparation, such as foreign language studies or skills training, as necessary.
5. Prepare pupils for the broader personal and social skills required to thrive and succeed at their chosen school.
6. Assist each pupil and family in preparing for boarding, where required.
Since 2019, our students have received an impressive total of over 60 offers from prestigious UK schools. We are committed to offering a comprehensive programme that empowers our pupils and parents to make informed decisions about their secondary education journey. By providing guidance, support, and a tailored approach, we aim to ensure that each pupil finds the right path to success.
