Entry Requirements

UK secondary school application process
From May to June, the school's programme and plan for the comprehensive student's academic performance is determined. English proficiency, age, gender and other factors determine the UK secondary school: boys’school, girls’school or mixed school to be applied for. Time for the plan to study abroad and prepare for the entrance exam.
July-August - Preparing Application Materials
Students are required to provide the materials needed to apply for the school: including junior high school diploma, junior high school three-year transcript, second grade reading certificate, junior high school two-year transcript, high school proof, high school transcript, and reading School introduction, two teacher recommendation letters, profile about themselves (about 500 words in English), various types of award certificates, sponsor funds certification.
The application will be submitted from August to September, the registration fee application materials will need to be ready; the application materials will be then submitted to the UK secondary school and students will be required to pay the non-refundable school registration fee (registration fee) before they can be heard or sent. Schools charge between ￡50 and ￡300, depending on the school.
October - February of the following year - Participation in school exams. The school usually places students in English, Maths or Science at the designated location and asks students to complete the test within the specified time.
From January to February of the following year, most schools will issue a pre-admission notice after passing the student test and application evaluation, and ask the students to pay the degree deposit within the prescribed time limit. The boarding school credit is usually a one-semester tuition fee, and other schools range from ￡500 to ￡2,000. The deposit is refunded after the student completes the study.
In June of the following year, the official admission letter will be issued to students after receiving the degree deposit from the admission school.
In July of the following year, the visa student prepares the visa materials after receiving the official admission notice from the school.
In August of the following year, the student will be granted a visa application, obtain a visa, and prepare for pre-departure guidance.
Departure in September of the following year, school starts.

A-Level
The selection of A-Level subjects is closely related to the selection of the university degree; after graduation, A-Levels will contribute to the British college entrance examination. The results decide whether the student goes to a top university or a general university.
At the same time, the United States and other Commonwealth countries also accept A-Levels from the UK. The A-Level entry criteria are for Chinese high school students who are over 16 years old and have no English scores. This can be remedied with 1 to 6 months of English lessons.
The A-Level score also determines what kind of university the student can enter in the future, so be sure to choose one or two subjects that you are good at. Arts courses such as history, geography, law, business, economics, psychology, and sociology require a large amount of reading and writing, and the requirements for languages are high, and the Chinese middle school literature and history courses are very different from those in the UK. Such courses are more difficult for Chinese students to achieve good results. Mathematics, physics, chemistry and other science courses are the specialty of Chinese students. The degree of Chinese high school graduates in these courses is equivalent to the first year of A-Level. Therefore, as long as the language issue is solved, there should be very few difficulties. Mathematics has become a must-have course for every Chinese student.
