都了解Bromley &Orpington 住的中国人比较多，那Sevenoaks 呢？是不是大家嫌远没有人去住啊
bank holiday刚去了sevenoaks 那个什么knole 什么house真不错 还有公园 公园里还看到日本人和柴犬
我在那里住了几年，华人不是很多，不是远不去住，是因为sevenoaks是富人区，房价高，这是我个人觉得的
sevenoaks是好区，如果有钱买得起房子，推荐你去那里居住
sevenoaks价格比orpington，petts wood低。
大家选orpington，petts wood主要是为了warren 和crofton两家牛小学，所以房价也推上去了。
而且如果孩子考上了本地两大grammar，当然是住orpington上学方便了。走路，骑车都很近。住sevenoaks的话上学不是那么方便。中国人买房都是为了学校，学区房相对也好卖好租一些。
green street green那边也很漂亮，很多好房子，可都是有价无市。一再降价都几个月卖不出去。就是因为不在好小学好中学范围内。而warren primary周边，再破的房子都有人接。
如果你不考虑学校，选择范围大很多。
你google一下Sevenoaks school看看是什么级别的学校好吗？sevenoaks价格比Orpington和Petts Wood低？你确定你查对地方了吗？
地方是非常不错的地方，年龄结构老化，没有什么年轻人，人口少，但是好学校环绕，当然主要都是私校。
那边房子总体比较大，但是都比较旧了，都需要翻新，加上本身房价就不便宜，整体花销会比较大，所以不是特别符合国人挑选地点的胃口。
不就是Kent的sevenoaks吗？我买房时比较过warren学区，petts wood east和sevenoaks，不觉得sevenoaks贵呀？而且sevenoaks私校多，但除去sevenoaks school，其他排名是一般般。公立小学好的都是教会学校，grammar要考kent或者orpington，公立免考中学没有拔尖的。拔尖的公立免考中学都在bromley。中国人比较喜欢成绩好的非教会公立小学和grammar school，sevenoaks到london通勤又更远一些，综合起来不那么对中国人胃口。
周围好的Grammar school基本都是在sevenoaks为中心辐射范围内，主要都是集中在tonbridge和Tunbridge Wells那个方向，如果不想离伦敦更远，Sevenoaks是折中的最佳选择。另外房价来说，虽然其实Kent就是个大农村，但sevenoaks在Kent范围内应该是最贵的了。
tonbridge和tonbridge wells girls排名很高，但都是女校。男校当地最好的是st olaves，在orpington。orpington还有一家newstead wood 女校也不错，这俩学校距离非常近，平时有个啥活动也是这俩学校一起，正好一男校一女校。st olaves到了six form会招收60个女生。很多家长选orpington也是为了孩子们上学方便。sevenoaks周围不少grammar，但最好的这几家grammar离它都是接近7mile或者7mile以上了，感觉孩子上学不算太方便。
公立免考最好的几家中学都在bromley，所以也有家长不要求孩子考grammar，进bulls wood，langley park或者是orpington的darrick wood就可以了。学区范围从0.9到1mile 多不等。
看楼主的买房目的是什么，学校目标又是什么，孩子几个，男孩女孩，在哪里工作，通勤时间等综合考虑。
看了下今年的私校排名，sevenoaks表现不好啊，前一百名里都没看到它。是我看漏了还是它没参加排名？
看最近新闻，我觉得st olaves是一个非常糟糕的学校，为了学校的A level成绩好它在A level的第一年到第二年的过渡期间加了一个坎，一批学生没有达到所有成绩B就被劝退，这样对学校确实是好了，但那些学了一半A level的学生基本无处可去，这种把学校利益放在学生利益之上的学校不去上也吧。那些学生都是GCSE成绩很好的，到A level上不去了那说明是学校的问题，学校没有提供他们应该有的帮助。最后结果还算好，那些学生的家长请了律师要到high court打官司学校只好退让了。
我朋友说QE也是淘汰制，他儿子就在QE，至于什么时候淘汰，怎么淘汰法我就不清楚了。正因为有这样残酷的淘汰制，QE才是男校全国第一嘛。
QE在GCSE到A level之间淘汰一批再招一批好的新生，这个可以理解，学生也好作其它安排，但st olaves的把学生上一半A level推出去的做法让学生无法安排。
哦，我记得st olaves以前一直是gcse末尾淘汰，没想到这次是A level读一半淘汰。

不准确信息还不如没有信息
我对该校长印象还不错的，人家大周末的还亲自参加PTA的活动，站在大门口推销Rafle ticket:L ，有几个人能够周末为了工作放弃与家人的时间呢，所以觉得还是挺敬业的。
缺点是为人比较强势，唯成绩的做法很多英国人看不惯，但挺像国内的，但英国人承受不了这样的压力。他积极和湖南长沙的学校搞合作关系，也被人指责，不想学中国那一套。
和长沙合作是orpington中文学校的校长组织的吧？她是湖南人。学校合作这不是为了学生访学，夏令营给学校赚钱么？
