Parent commentary
Parent commentary and interview notes below are summarised from Chinese-language forum sources and are shown in the original Chinese. Ask the AI assistant in English for a grounded summary of any of it.
聖方濟各英文小學為學術型學校,課程深、功課壓力大,校風嚴謹保守,適合自律且學術能力強的學生。升中成績亮眼,但學生流失率高(2024年畢業僅96人),部分因壓力轉校。近年師生關係改善,但整體仍以成績為導向。
校風嚴謹保守,以學術成績為主,管教方式早年備受爭議(如2009年侮辱性罰站),近年老師處理品行問題較積極,但整體壓力大,不適合需逼迫做功課的學生。
功課量早年極重(2017年小三需兩週完成西遊記報告),2020年曾緩和,但2022年測考默頻密,2025年小一試卷已深,整體壓力大,課程深,需自律學生。
面試以學術考核為主,2013年約45分鐘無家長面試,2016年考IQ及中英數普,2023年需解釋成績弱項,面試內容全面且具挑戰性。
教學學術底子強,英文教得快但文法詳細,數學有增潤,升中成績透明(2023年B1A比例35%),老師與學生關係近年良好,班主任關懷。

Preparation directions mentioned by parents

- 考慮面試班,學習對答技巧。

Special Educational Needs (SEN) support
學校對SEN學生態度分化:對資優生支援較多,有註校EP及人才庫;但對其他SEN(如ADHD、讀障)支援不足,老師訓練有限,大班教學(40-45人)不利個別關顧。有家長反映ADHD學生未被勸退,但亦有欺凌事件未獲妥善處理。
