延續移民子女在英國學習中文機會 留意提供免費中文課程的英國公立中學名單
不少準備帶孩子到英國移民的家長，其中一個考慮，或也許是憂慮，就是年幼的孩子，特別是仍處於小學階段，應該在港讀完幾年級才轉到英國讀書呢？因為到了英國之後，就沒有學習中文的機會，所以希望在香港小學打好中文基礎後，才搬過去。 畢竟中國人不懂中文是有點可惜，而且多一種語言作為競爭力也是必然的。不少香港畢業生在英國，都是靠兩文三語作的優勢，作為找工作的競爭力。
究竟英國學校有沒有中文課程呢？答案是有部份私立或公立學校都有提供中文課程。私立學校不在話下，因為是自費的，學校按學生的需要而提供。現在此文提及的是英國的免費公立學校，也有提供中文課程。
其實英國政府教育部，早在2013年已定下英國小學課程由三年級開始，必須修讀一課現代外國語言（Modern foreign language MFL)，如歐洲語言如法文、德文、意大利文等等。但考慮到中文在現今世界已俱影響力的趨勢，基於這個原因，英國政府已在2016年將漢語納入國民教育體系，在當地中、小學開始作試㸃，引進有系統地學習中文課程，並且建立中學的中文GCSE的文憑考試標準。
這個引進是通過國家級倫敦大學教育研究院及北京大學合作，共同定下英國當地課程內容及基準。課程是以說普通話及寫簡體字為中文內容，以一個名為Mandarin Excellence 的項目，推動到英國本地公立學校學校執行。經過這幾年的發展，英國全國現在有150間公立小學及64間公立中學，現超過三千名英籍學生在有系統地學習中文。中學從七年級開始，學生每週要學習8個小時的中文-四個教學小時和四個小時的自學時間。單在2018學年就有三千五百名英籍同學，考獲GCSE中文科文憑試，人數亦逐年增長。
比較過香港及英國文憑試的中文卷，在英國學校學中文，程度確是比香港淺。所以在香港讀完小學後，在英國應付中文學習應綽綽有餘了。準備帶子女的父母，希望子女能延續學習中文的話，應該會對這64間公立學校感興趣，特別在倫敦或英國東、西南部的學校，例如Kent, Bath, Reading , Essex, Sussex 等等地區。但注意既然是免費公立學校，就未必位於高貴地區，生活環境配套未必合乎個別理想，但這些大部份都是優質公立中學，以校網區地址及11+ 考試成績申請。有興趣家長，請看以下網址，並可盡早參考及策劃，延續子女在英國學習中文的機會。

移民英國升學新書推介 陳筱芬教育博士著作 《移居英國升讀公立學校全攻略》
香港第一本英國公立學校升學天書 BNO 5+1 家長移居英國前必讀
一聲「BNO 5+1」移居英國政策宣布推出後，BNO護照持有人子女有望進入英國公立學校，接受其免費教育，這觸發了更多BNO護照家長準備未來帶同子女移居英國留學的打算。但大部分香港BNO家長對英國並不熟悉，甚至從未踏足過英倫，對於尋找公立學校茫無頭緒，陷入一片迷惘中。僅在過去的幾個月，我收到了大量來自BNO父母有關英國公立學校的詢問，我希望能幫助他們解決他們的疑問。
英國公立學校與香港津貼學校一樣也有分校網區，英國全國共有兩萬四千多所學校，單單倫敦就有三千多所公立學校。究竟如何開始找尋學校？應該住在英國哪一校區？如何辨別學校好易壞？如何申請公立學校？如何申請英國公立特殊教育學校？家長都不知如何開始。
我十二歲便隻身遠赴英國開始了寄宿學校生活，其後升上倫敦大學帝國學院及在倫敦工作了幾年，度過了十五年漫長的英倫歲月，對英國及倫敦熟悉不過。時光流逝，但有一點不易轉變的是教育；英國持守國家教育水平質素及考試制度，英國的優質教育名聞世界，到英國升學仍是全球學生的優先選擇。我希望以居英過來人的生活經驗，建基對英國教育制度的豐富經驗和專業知識，誠意協助將移居英國的BNO家長，為子女尋找英國公立學校教育的過程中作為一個可靠指引。
內容簡介：
‧英國倫敦十七區及其他大城市公立中小學校校網區概覽
‧如何選擇好的公立學校？
‧介紹英國公立學校申請程序及11+考試分析
‧如何申請升讀公立中學文法學校Grammar School
‧分析BNO子女中途到英插班銜接案例
‧了解英國特殊教育SEN支援及BNO子女移民前的準備
‧全書超過兩千間英國優質公立中小學學校名單
‧附錄著名倫敦及近郊私立中小學日校名單
