英国寄宿高中常见问题一:何时开始注册申请入学?
英国私立学校在历史上有自己独特的发展过程,在各个年龄段的安排也和公立学校有很大差别。
基本上,孩子在4岁会进入“预备学校学前班(Pre-prep School)”。4-5岁读Reception,5岁开始读1年级。“预备学校(Prep School)”是从8岁开始读到10岁,即4-6年级。在这一阶段学习结束后,有些学生会参加11+考试,开始私立中学的学习。
英国私立学校的中学阶段称为Senior School,一般分为11岁和13岁两个主要入学时间点,各个学校的具体情况有所不同。有些学生在11岁结束预备学校的学习后会通过11+考试进入中学;有些学生则会在预备学校继续再读两年,13岁通过Common Entrance考试申请进入中学。
接下来,13岁的学生在私立中学读9年级,这一年被称作foundation year,是打基础的一年。这一年学生会继续广泛学习各门学科,探索个人兴趣和强项。从10年级(14岁)开始,进入两年的GCSE学习阶段,并在11年级完成GCSE考试。
类似国内高中的阶段在英国私立中学中称为“Sixth Form”,这是一个从旧的教学制度中遗留下来的称呼。从前英国的学校学习被分为6个阶段(Form),而这两年是其中的第六阶段。
现在教育制度早已改革,但把12、13年级称为Sixth Form的习惯却保留了下来。在这两年内学生主要学习A-Level课程。12年级称为AS-Level,13年级称为A-Level。在13年级结束时(18岁),完成A-Level考试,申请进入大学。

SECTION A
Total marks available for this section are 20
Read the extract below, taken from the novel “Sword in the Stone” by T. H. White and answer all the questions that follow:
Arthur slept well in the woodland nest where he had laid himself down, in that kind of thin but refreshing sleep which people have when they first lie out of doors. At first, he only dipped below the surface of sleep, and skimmed along like a salmon in shallow water, so close to the surface that he fancied himself in the air. He thought himself awake when he was already asleep. He saw the stars above his face, whirling round on their silent and sleepless axis, and the leaves of the trees rustling against them, and heard small changes in the grass. These little noises of footsteps and soft-fringed wing-beasts and stealthy bellies drawn over the grass blades or rattling against the bracken at first frightened or interested him, so that he moved to see what they were (but never saw). Then soothed him, so that he no longer cared to see what they were but trusted them to be themselves, and finally left him altogether as he swam down deeper and deeper, nuzzling his nose into the scented turf, into the warm ground, into the unending waters under the earth.
It had been difficult to go to sleep in the bright summer moonlight, but once he was there it was not difficult to stay. The sun came early, causing him to turn over in protest, but in going to sleep he had learnt to vanquish light, and now the light could not reawaken him. It was nine o’clock, five hours after daylight, before he rolled over, opened his eyes, and was awake at once. He was hungry.
1. Explain where Arthur has slept in you own words. [2 marks]
2. How does the writer convey Arthur’s experience of being asleep? You should use words or phrases from the extract to support your ideas. [7 marks]
3. What is your impression of Arthur’s character in the passage? Look at the detail from the passage to support your answer but use your own words as much as possible to describe him. [6 marks]
4. Write a short continuation of the passage from: “He was hungry…” Think about what might have happened next and try to keep the same atmosphere and style of the original. [5 marks]
SECTION B
Total marks available for this section are 15
Choose ONE of the following:
EITHER:
1. Imagine you have woken up in a natural outdoor setting. Write a description of your experience.
OR
2. Write a descriptive piece called “A Mysterious Place.”
英国寄宿高中常见问题三:录取通知书什么时候可以收到?
大多数学校在10、11月发放。
英国寄宿高中常见问题四:学生年龄要求是多少?
英国顶尖的寄宿中学对学生年龄的要求16-18周岁,但是实际操作中,大部分学校是对学生最大入学年龄有严格的要求,绝大多数学校能够接受学生年龄在当年入学的时候年龄低于17岁半的学生,有一部分学校最大年龄限制在17周岁9个月,只有很少一部分学校能够接受当年入学年龄接近18周岁的学生。
英国寄宿高中常见问题五:面试需要准备些什么
排名靠前的学校不是学生做完入学测试就万事大吉了,还会有Skype视频面试或者电话面试。
主要考察学生英语水平,逻辑思维能力,反应能力,另外还考察学生对自己未来的学习计划是否清晰,是否有自己的职业规划,以及学生性格是否开朗自信,因为在未成年的时候就要赴海外留学,要适应一个新的语言和学习环境,如果没有坚韧的性格和自信,相信对这些小留学生来说不是很容易。在此建议家长提早准备,合理引导孩子。比如多跟孩子交流,了解孩子感兴趣的学科,以及选择这些学科以后的职业方向。
