[kerelena]

Hi,um, i am new to here so i am not really sure this is the right way to post. I am sorry for any mistakes made :)

Actually i am struggling among some schools my daughter has chosen because i am not sure they fit her or not. These schools are:

1. Brighton College
   
2. Canford School
   
3. Badminton School
   
4. Caterham School
   

So, can you please give me some advice and information about these schools,especially on the bullying issue. (my daughter prefers Canford)

Thank you very much
xoxo

Hey everyone! I'm moving up to year 11 in Sep and also from Hong Kong like kerelena 's daughter. I am in a situation like her bc I get good results at school and I also play the piano, swim and do ice-skating. I study in a girls school similar to Woldingham and I went in last year. I'm planning to go to an academically better school in sixth form.
I have:
A* Edexcel GCSE Mathematics Jan 2014
A* GCSE Chinese Jan 2014
good grades at my school (sort of)
grade 5 piano
grade 5 ice-skating
swimming certificates
... and some other bits of stuff

I also studied English as first language and got As and Bs in my controlled assessments. (My school offers English as Foreign Language for overseas students.)

My questions:

a. Do you think I can apply for very good schools? (I'm thinking Brighton College and Badminton school.) How much chance I can get into those schools?

b. Do you have any suggestions for what schools I should apply and have a relatively bigger chance to get into/ suitable for my situation?

thanks :)

Hi Kerelena,
Not sure if this will get to you. Wondered what decision you came to? We are also living in HK and wishing to send our daughter to boarding school for year 10.
