Sixth form - Boarding - Hong Kong - urgent :(

[marlowrose]

For two DDs, we are looking for Boarding school Sixth Form. Would be very happy if there was a large Chinese or Hong Kong contingent, so they feel at home. Both predicted A*s for A levels, but also need some neurodiverse support (dyspraxia). No preference for co-ed or not, private or not, or the location. Ideally this is for urgent entry this September, should you know of any places still admitting, but it would be possible for us to defer for a year. Any ideas please.

www.trurohigh.co.uk always used to have a lot of Chinese boarders.

Headington Hall near Oxford. St Swithuns in Winchester.

Headington school in Oxford, boarding is nearly all from Hong Kong and China. Strong academically with broad curriculum options, additional support also available.

Wherever you choose, make sure you ask how many full boarders there are. Will there be other kids in at weekends? What kind of activities does the school offer on Saturdays and Sundays. You don’t want a ‘boarding’ school but where most people go home all the time if you are overseas.

Just to add to the list, lots of Asians at Oundle School and fairly academic

Thank you so so much. Feeling quite wretched as both DDs work their socks off, are really good. Have let them down on this one and now absolutely scrambling.

Hey Marlowerose / are you leaving HK unexpectedly? Can they not continue at their current school? I presume they’re at an International School already?

another shout for Wychwood in Oxford.

Gordonstoun? Full boarding, many international pupils, inc Asian. Has travel department to organise everything and escorts to Heathrow/Gatwick.
