King George V School (KGV) Hong Kong is a part of the English Schools Foundation which educates 10,500 students in 15 schools across Hong Kong. The oldest of the Foundation's schools, KGV aims to blend the best of its tradition with a progressive approach. School Curriculum Students in Years 7, 8 & 9 study a wide range of subjects covering all areas of the UK National Curriculum. In addition, they are able to choose two foreign languages from a range including Chinese and European tongues. This ensures that there is a broad and balanced curriculum for all students.
In
Years 10 and 11, students follow courses leading to UK General
Certificate of Secondary Education examinations.
Subject
choices are guided to ensure that students continue with a broad and
balanced education, whilst allowing them to play to their strengths and
pursue their special interests. In Years 12 and 13 there is a free choice of subjects
to study. Typically, students study four Advanced level subjects,
following the UK system. Curriculum choices are also enriched with a
range of non-examination courses and activities. Examination results are
excellent and the majority of our students go on to further education at
first class universities around the world. Homework Homework is set in all years to complement the work
done in lessons. Schedules and time limits vary through the school. ICT In Years 7, 8 and 9, ICT is taught across the
curriculum with students developing a broad range of skills. All
students follow a GCSE course in ICT. The school has excellent
facilities that are continually updated and expanded with a ratio of
less than 4 students to each computer. E.A.L Students who are not native English speakers receive
support from our specialist EAL (English as an Additional Language )
staff so that they can reach their full potential in our English medium
curriculum. This may take the form of small group EAL lessons or in -
class support by EAL staff in subject lessons. Learning Support While we cater for the very able, KGV also has a
Special Needs Unit that provides specialist help for students with
moderate learning difficulties. Other students who experience learning
problems are catered for by the provision of suitable programmes,
including support within the classroom and on an individual basis.
