Best entry age for UK schools:
As we all know, children's learning ability is much stronger than that of adults, which includes the ability to learn foreign languages and the ability to recognize the surrounding things. For children, the sooner they enter the local school to learn foreign languages, the better they can adapt to the surrounding environment and master the local language. Generally speaking, most UK schools choose to enrol on 1 September those who are:
- 3-4 years old;
- 7-year old;
- age 11;
- 13 years old;
- 16 year old student
If you want to enroll your child in school, you must ensure that your child is at least one and a half years old on September 1.

If you want to enrol your child in a UK school then we recommend that you enrol your child no later than the age of 13 as from the age of 14 UK students will start preparing for the first important exams of their life GCSEs. Before the age of 14, if your child does not have a good command of English, then he will not have enough time to study the corresponding courses to better prepare for this test. Of course, if you miss this best opportunity, your child still has the opportunity to enter a good university for further study.
At what age can a child attend a (private) boarding school?
Some boarding schools admit children over the age of seven, but most schools prefer to enroll children over the age of 11.
Can our children go to UK public (free) schools?
For British residents, they have the right to enjoy free public school education in the UK. For people living in the UK under certain immigration regulations, their children can also enjoy free public school education in the UK before the age of 19. Their children can also attend UK public kindergartens.
How to choose a better school for your child?
Every
year, many educational institutions publish school rankings, and each school is
scored accordingly. These rankings can be of great help when choosing a school,
but they can sometimes be misleading because of their different perspectives
and complexity. So we have to realize that a school that is great for other
kids may not be right for yours. Every child is unique, Even if the school is
at the top of the relevant institutions' rankings, it may not be the ideal
school for your child. Here are a few points we think you should keep in mind
when choosing a school for your child:
Take a closer look at ISC and Ofsted's school
survey findings.
Progress of school graduates.
The school conducts A-Levels / IB / Pre-U high
school teaching courses, as well as the school's students' test scores in
previous years.
If it is a boarding school, then you also need to
know the ratio of boarding students to day students, because if a so-called
boarding school is 95% of the students are day students, the accommodation
conditions for boarding students may not be very good.
The school's teaching expenses for the child's
current age and the next few years allow parents to budget in advance, because
in some private schools, as the child's age increases, the school's tuition fee
also increases year by year.
The proportion of international students in the
school.
What measures does the school have for
international students to improve their English proficiency? For example, does
the school have special EAL language courses for foreign students?
If the school only has a junior high school (ages
11-16), which high school will graduates of the school be assigned to.
- The extracurricular life that the school prepares for the students.
- Boarding or day schooling is more suitable for your child.
- Ordinary schools are divided into boys and girls.
- International schools are also traditional British local schools.
class size. You know your child well enough that
you know whether a large or small class is more suitable for your child. Some
children will stand out in small classes of less than 10 people, and some
children will find it a little boring in small classes, so most schools do not
have classes that are too small
In addition to the above points, there are many
things you need to consider, but it is all worth it because the school you
choose for your child will determine your child's future, Our company considers
every aspect of school choice for you - from progression to the comfort of
school life, so that you can choose the school that is best for your child from
2,500 schools across the UK, so that your child can stay in school He is
extremely happy in his life, and realizes his full potential and achieves the
best results,
When your child has passed the school's entrance test and several alternative schools have been selected, it is best to go to the school by yourself or with your child to experience the atmosphere of the school before making a final decision, Personal feelings will help you make the most correct choice, You can visit during the school's public open days, or you can book your private visit in advance. It should be reminded that you should choose to visit on weekdays instead of school holidays, because you can see the school's class during the visit, communicate with students and school teachers, and watch how students communicate with each other, The cleanliness of the school and the state of the school's meals. You won't be able to see these on school days off.
What is the difference between a traditional British school and an international school, and which is better?
Children in traditional British schools and many international schools can achieve excellent results in exams and get admitted to prestigious schools in the UK or abroad, so it is not easy to compare the two. You need to make choices by analyzing the individual needs of your family and children.
Traditional British schools generally do better with international students and have stricter school discipline. If you want your child to study in this type of school, your child's English proficiency needs to be at a very high level, or your child is still young, this can ensure that he quickly adapts to the language environment and teaching, and can communicate with his classmates They communicate easily.
In contrast, the composition of students in
international schools is much more complex. There are children from all over
the world here, many of whom are your fellow villagers. International schools
are more suitable for students who need to adapt to the British environment and
have a slightly poorer language. International school is the best place for
your child for those who change places frequently and know that they will be
living in another country in a few years time. International schools have
different teaching materials, they know how difficult it is to learn a foreign
language and how to help international students adapt to life in the UK and
master the language. All international schools offer English classes
exclusively, and students can also get additional English study time outside of
the main curriculum. These additional lessons will greatly shorten the time
children have to master English.
There are usually international student centers in international schools, where children focus on learning English. When the children's English level reaches the required level, they will go to the regular course. Usually, international schools are easier to apply to than traditional British schools, and there are often vacancies in international schools, as their students often transfer schools because they move.

Many international students who come to study in the UK choose to go to an international school or an international student centre, where they spend a year or two perfecting their English so that they can transfer to the traditional UK without any language barriers. in school.
Higher education in the UK:
Higher education in the UK starts with a Bachelor Degree, which is available in 3 or 4 years. After your undergraduate degree, you can go on to postgraduate studies and eventually earn a postgraduate degree. Most UK postgraduate studies only take one year, not at least two years as in other parts of the world. But the weight of postgraduate degrees in the UK is no worse than those in other countries.
A shorter course time can allow students to save tuition and living expenses, and allow them to enter the society earlier and earn their first pot of gold.
