在端午假期期间，我们特别高兴地收到了来自英国柏朗思的好消息！

(资料图片仅供参考)

我校在英国交换学习的两位学生大使——Richard和Oscar，已经提前获得了英国柏朗思学校九年级的学位，他们是BMH第一批获得“优选计划”学位名额的学子。这项巨大的荣誉，是表彰这两位学生在BMH和英国柏朗思学校担任学生大使期间课堂内外的卓越表现。

目前，我校许多优秀的小学高段学生都已经在井然有序的安排下着手准备“优选计划”的相关考核，我们相信会有越来越多学生能够获得英国学校的学位，更多名单也将陆续公布。

而什么要选择“优选计划”，我们也书接上回，希望能给大家更多的参考。

出类拔萃的关怀辅导

英国本校拥有包容、关爱学生、关注学生成长的文化，而对学生的关顾是该文化的核心。从寄宿家长、住校员工、宿舍辅导员、女宿管老师到辅导员、老师、咨询师、医务室、指导老师到总校长，每个人都非常关注学生的身心健康并深深热爱自己的工作。当你去到英国本校的时候，你马上就会感觉到自己被接纳了，体会到英国本校兼收并蓄的校风。你会感受到每位学生散发出的温暖、快乐，表现出的友好、谦虚和自信，以及追求卓越的精神。

此外，很多英国寄宿学校都有“长周末”（每三周，所有学生，包括国际学生都必须在长周末离校，让教职工能有休息的时间）。但是，英国本校没有设置长周末，因为他们理解尤其是对国际寄宿生来说，长周末带来了很多挑战、风险和不便。在大约9天长的期中假期间，英国本校还提供“守护天使计划”供学生选择，学生可以选择留校，并且假期期间也有教职工照看。

英国本校提供的寄宿服务比大多数其他英国寄宿学校更包容。入读英国本校，学生只需要在圣诞假期和暑假期间离校。而在新冠疫情期间，英国本校更是升级措施，当机立断地决定国际学生在圣诞和暑假期间也可留校，此举备受广大家长欢迎，家长不需要抢购机票，也不需要担心假期浪费在隔离上了。

国际视野和文化习得

在英国本校不仅有英国当地的学生，还有来自超过55个不同国家的学生。对中国学生来说，在海外学习，还是一个这么充满文化多样性、温馨、包容的大家庭，是不可多得的机会。与包容且多元文化的同龄人一起成长能够让他们更容易理解、欣赏和融入当地的文化，同时培养国际视野。而柏朗思学生之间的友谊往往跨越全球并持续终生。

无与伦比的校园

坐落在面积100英亩（超600亩）的校园上，英国本校的设施一流，让人赞叹不绝。专业的室内和室外体育设施，25m室内游泳池，现代化的音乐、艺术、戏剧、舞蹈、设计和技术工作室和表演大厅，屡获殊荣的宴会和餐饮设施，13个优质院舍，17-18世纪建成的历史悠久的教堂和建筑，社区网络等，学生发展和丰富生活的机遇是无限的。

职业规划指导

英国本校职业规划指导部是为学生量身定制的升学和就业指导部门，由有资质的职业咨询师和专业的专家团队组成，他们能为学生提供建议，指导学生在英国本校就读期间以及今后的职业上顺利发展。英国本校的大学升学成绩非常亮眼，超过80%的学生被第一志愿大学录取，升入各类高等学校，继续攻读不同的课程。

（2022年，33%的学生考入了世界排名前50的大学，72%的学生升入了罗素集团大学。

热门录取大学：伦敦大学学院、帝国理工学院、伦敦政治和经济学院、伦敦国王大学、杜伦大学、巴斯大学、华威大学等。英国之外的录取大学：哈佛大学、康奈尔大学、英属哥伦比亚大学、多伦多大学、加州大学、香港大学、香港中文大学）。

学校非常重视为学生备战牛津剑桥的入学试，事实上，针对此类学生的课程是我们在9、10、11年级开设的扩展课程的延续。考上牛津和剑桥的学生攻读的专业遍布各个领域，这个让我们引以为豪的传统一直延续至今。

校友网络

历届校友联系紧密，遍布英国和全球，这是无价的资源。

We are more than happy to learn that BMH"s Richard Feng of Prep 5 and Oscar Chen of P6 have secured Priority Place Offers to study at Bromsgrove School from Year 9 onwards after they have completed Senior 7at BMH.This is a great honour which has been extended to the boys in recognition of their excellent work in and out of the classroom both at BMH and during their term as ambassadors at Bromsgrove School.These two students are the first BMH students to be offered priority places and we anticipate others will follow very soon given the keen interest amongst many of our excellent Prep 4,5,6 and Senior7 students.

Today, we would like to provide you with more information on "The Value of Priority Placement”.

Pastoral care excellence

Pastoral care is at the heart of Bromsgrove’s inclusive,caring and thriving culture.From Houseparents,residential staff, boarding tutors,housemothers to tutors,teachers,counsellors,health centre,senior teachers to Headmaster,every adult is deeply invested in the pastoral well-being of students and passionate in their vocation.When you visit the campus,you will feel immediately welcomed by the inclusive ethos of Bromsgrove UK.You will feel the warmth,happiness,friendliness,well-mannered etiquette,humility and confidence of every student as well as the ethos of excellence.

Furthermore,many UK boarding schools have“exeat weekends”(about every third week,all students,including international students,need to be off campus,in order to provide all faculty a short break).However,at Bromsgrove,there is NO“exeat weekends”as they understand the challenges,risk and inconvenience this would pose,especially to international boarders.Furthermore,over half term breaks(about 9 days long),Bromsgrove offers an optional“Guardian Angels”programme in which boarders can stay on campus and be looked after over half-term.

At Bromsgrove,students need to find off-campus arrangements only for Christmas holidays and Summer Holidays.Hence,Bromsgrove provides a far more inclusive boarding provision than most other UK boarding schools.This commitment to wrap around boarding provision was exemplified during Covid,when Bromsgrove UK stepped up and immediately offered international boarders the option to stay on campus and be looked after,even over Christmas and Summer Holidays,which was highly appreciated by international parents,as they did not have to worry about securing a flight home for their child or time wasted in quarantine.

Global mindset and cultural assimilation

At Bromsgrove School UK,not only are students from the UK,but there are students from over 55 countries.For Chinese students,the opportunity to study overseas in a culturally diverse,yet warm,inclusive and family-orientated school like Bromsgrove sets them up with a truly global mindset and a superior appreciation of other cultures:growing up with an inclusive yet culturally diverse peer group really helps Chinese students to understand,appreciate and integrate into the local culture,whilst developing a global mindset.Friendships formed between Bromsgrovians tend to span the globe and last a lifetime.

In contrast,we have noticed that oftentimes,Chinese students who go overseas only at university level,will tend to befriend mainly other Chinese students and not fully develop the cultural flexibility and adaptability important for their future careers.

Unparalleled campus

Spread across 100 acres (over 600 mu), Bromsgrove School UK’s facilities are unparalleled and astounding. With extensive professional facilities for indoor and outdoor sports; with 25m indoor swimming pool; with state-of-the-art music, arts, drama, dance, design and technology studios and performance halls; with award winning catering and dining facilities; with 13 high quality boarding houses; with an historic chapel and buildings dating back to 1600s-1800s, community networks and much more….the opportunities for students’ development and enrichment are limitless.the opportunities for students’development and enrichment are limitless.
