选择公校的时分大家能够用考试成就排名榜和Inspection的Report来进行判别，选择私校就没有这么容易了，由于私校没有义务发布考试成就乃至能够不加入全国性的考试。
由于请求大学需求A Level和GCSE成就，私立中学确定是加入全国考试的，大部份私立中学也发布考试成就加入排名榜，但有些私立中学抵抗排名榜他们说考试成就不是他们的独一教学指标乃至不是次要教学指标。
小学阶段的考试SAT 2（十一岁）能够说是小学结业考试，由于这个考试成就没有甚么用，有些私立小学不加入这个考试，就算加入了大少数不发布考试成就。私校同盟虽然也做inspection但inspection report信息未几。没有考试成就做参考，大家在选择私立小学的时分就只能靠口碑了，好比其它父母的教训，学校的传统名望等等。
在South Kensington的Hill House international junior school是一个PrePrep和Prep一同的学校（4到13岁的孩子），一年14k的学费在小学外面算是贵的了，当年查尔斯去苏格兰上中学之前就是上的这个学校，算是个有传统着名气的矮小上学校了，虽然英国王室不重视孩子的学术成就（academic performance）菲利普亲王厌恶和排斥常识份子但他们选择的学校应该不差吧？
比来Ofsted的讲演说这个学校分歧格（inadequate），除了校舍平安等问题外Ofsted次要批判了学校的数学和写作程度以及教师给学术很少的学习反对，教育部（DoE）的无关官员当初正在钻研这个讲演抉择是否封闭这个学校。
这个学校的校长指摘这个讲演彻底过错，他强调这个学校的先生如何happy如何有talent行动如何好等等，他说的这些彻底正确，Ofsted的report也确认了这些，但他躲避了症结问题，那就是数学和写作的规范以及教师给先生的学习反对。

声明：我不知道这个学校，对它也没有任何兴致，我发这个贴彻底是由于看到了这个旧事的感想，此外对得多私校不肯意或者不敢发布考试成就十分恶感。
£14,000-a-year school attended by Prince Charles branded inadequate by Ofsted
http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/prep-school-prince-charles-inadequate-ofsted-rating-hill-house-international-junior-school-west-london-10100098.html
The £14,000-a-year prep school attended by the Prince of Wales could face closure after being branded inadequate in all areas in a damning Ofsted report.
Inspectors said pupils at Hill House international junior school in west London are not safe, do not make adequate progress and school leaders do not have the capacity to secure improvements.
The report criticised standards in maths and writing, said teachers are given little support and called for an urgent overhaul of health and safety procedures.
The family-run school was set up in 1951 and now runs out of several small houses in Kensington and Chelsea. It lists its number one rule as “safety of the boy and girl”.
But strikingly the report highlighted “significant failings” in security, saying visitors are not asked to sign in or out of the buildings and supervision of pupils is “sometimes lax”.
Some fire exits are hazardous, there is no fire safety policy and “the health and safety of both pupils and adults in the main school are severely compromised”, it said.
Today a spokeswoman for the Department for Education said ministers are studying the report and will confirm their decisions about regulatory action shortly. She added: “It would be wrong to take any decisions until we have studied the findings, but all options remain open — including closure. We have repeatedly demonstrated for all types of school that we will not hesitate to take tough action if required.”
Principal Richard Townend, whose late father Lt Col H Stuart Townend founded the school, has written to parents saying the report does not represent the school.
He wrote: “As I go around the school I see happy children enjoying being at school, working hard and making great progress in a safe environment.”
He added: “We provide opportunities in art, music, drama and sport which others envy. Each Wednesday the Assembly astonishes visitors with its display of talent in our school and the feeling of corporate warmth, friendliness and support of the whole Hill House family — pupils, parents and tutors. These are things of the greatest value.”
Pupils, aged between four and 13, are regularly seen marching in crocodile form between the school’s sites wearing their rust and gold uniform, including breeches and striped cravats, which are only available from Harrods. They enjoy compulsory swi妹妹ing lessons, trips to Switzerland and sports practice at the Duke of York’s Barracks in King’s Road.
The school, which has almost 1,000 pupils, was chosen by the royal family in 1956 for Prince Charles — the first time an heir to the throne had attended school outside the royal household.
The following year the Queen, Prince Philip and Princess Anne visited for sports day. Singer Lily Allen is also a former pupil. Described by the Good Schools Guide as having an “eccentric ethos”, the school has pupils from more than 50 countries and none are eligible for free school meals.
Ofsted inspectors praised their behaviour, saying they are “mature, confident, respectful and tolerant”, and enjoyed a wide range of musical and sporting activities in London and the school’s annex in Switzerland.
Mr Townend said the school will “explore in detail every criticism they have made and correct anything which needs attention”. The school has already co妹妹issioned Capita to overhaul health and safety and is conducting a security audit.
The school’s last full Ofsted inspection was in December 20十二 when it was judged to be “good”.
In May last year Ofsted carried out an emergency inspection at the request of the Department for Education after a routine survey of pupils. The quality of education for pupils was judged to be effective, but inspectors found that the school was failing to meet a number of regulatory requirements, including a significant number relating to the welfare and safety of its pupils.

家隔壁得nursery offsted就是inadequate，以前挺排斥，不想让孩子去，后果孩子去了也不恶感，玩的还挺happy得，就让他始终去了。
没有甚么流动，唱歌讲故事啊甚么得，就是孩子瞎玩。
不外这个春秋，玩的happy也就行了，也不要求太多。
所以感觉阿谁校长说的仍是有他情理得:cn08:

教学品质和校风很首要，我个别在选学校时，都是先查offsted report. 孩子在上小学时，在学校玩得开心是件坏事，可是假如只是为了玩而进一所教学品质差的学校，最初得失相当，我一名敌人儿子上学前在家能够数1至10，上了学后一段时间只能数1-5，倒退了。其实小学能把根底打好，上了中学后会轻松好多。

一个小学，假如先生大部份去了伊顿圣保罗甚么的，无论你给其甚么评估，或者找茬儿看的访客是否要sign in / out , 家长仍是会趋之若鹜的
就像一个中学，假如先生最初大部份都去了牛剑，那就是一个好学校

哎，要是这么说，那就没有好学校了。要知道Ofsted是站在老黎民的公众教育规范评估，查尔斯上的学校和多数贵族学校针对的人群不同。记得伊顿工学的学校简介说，俺们这里不是造就先生的，是造就国王、大法官、和首相的。。。。

大哥，我选学区的时分是该选中学好的区仍是小学好的区呢？
当初的窘境就是两个都好的区我买不起。
只能二选一。固然，我确定不会选小学差的区，只是个别，评分都在2，成就中等，有些乃至在均匀线下列，这样能够么？
我想了良久，好像中学比小学更首要，所以我在想我就选一个好中学的catchment，而后小学能够是普通的？这样实际么？

几个敌人的孩子都报了这个学校。听说是由于这个学校的孩子对比国内化，还有出世时报名了就能上，不需求退学考试。集体不是很喜爱，教室小，跟迷宫同样。
