Introduction
With the continuous development of the domestic economy, studying abroad is no longer the patent of higher education, more and more parents hope that their children can receive quality education overseas from childhood, and the United Kingdom, as a Western country with a history of nearly a thousand years of basic education and quality education, is also well-known internationally. So how do you get your children to attend the world-renowned "Nine Colleges" in the UK as a child? Niu Niu will share some real shortcuts with you today, let's take a look!
1. What are the Nine Universities?
The Nine Universities are a collective name for the nine oldest public schools in the UK and have a very high reputation in the UK, including:
Eton College
Harrow School
Winchester College
Westminster School
Rugby School
Charterhouse
Shrewsbury School
Merchant Taylors' college
St Paul's School

2. A shortcut to the Nine Universities
After looking at the eye-popping nine public schools and the top educational resources they have, let's take a look at how we can help our children get to these schools. Here, Niu Niu would like to recommend a shortcut to everyone, that is, Feeder School (Straight Up Primary School). Feeder School, more commonly speaking, is the counterpart primary school of the nine public schools, which is easy to understand, it is similar to what we call "attached small school" in China, which transports and prepares outstanding talents for the next stage, and once it is enrolled in the Feeder School of the nine public schools, it also indicates that half a foot has stepped into the nine public schools.
In addition to the aura of high acceptance rate of the nine public schools, Feeder School also has a sound education system and high-quality teaching level. From academics to talents, from etiquette to skills, these are all aspects of education that Feeder School attaches great importance to. Therefore, as the preparatory school of the nine public schools, what they can give to children is not only the promotion rate.
Next, let's take a look at what feeder schools are available in the nine public schools.
Summer Fields
Summer Fields is a full-time boys' school in Oxfordshire, founded in 1864 by the famous educator Archibald McLaren and his wife, a full-time boys' school with students aged 8-13. The current principal, David Faber, and his grandfather, former British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, were both former students of the school. Many of his family members shared his educational trajectory: Sumfield Preparatory School) – Eton College – Oxford University.
Since its establishment, the school has been recognized by the British education community as the "Eton College" of the preparatory primary school, and the reason is that the school's top educational standards and high-quality educational resources, as well as the enrollment rate of the nine public schools that have been maintained at the top of the first class. Like the school's motto, "A healthy mind in a healthy body," Summer Fields has produced many political giants, stylists, and tech giants for the world over the years.
In terms of where their graduates go, nearly half of the school's students graduate to Eton College (30%) and Harrow School (17%), while the majority of the remaining students also attend nine public schools such as Winchester College (10%), Charterhouse School (5%), Rugby School (3%) and Schultsbury School (3%).
The Pilgrims’ School
Founded in 1931 at the convent, The Pilgrims' School is a preparatory primary school at Winchester College, one of the nine prestigious public schools. The school enrolls boys aged 4-13, with a boarder population of about 37 per cent and an international student of about 3 per cent.
In addition, the school has also created a special apartment for each boy, which will be decorated according to the children's preferences, which is a very time-consuming and laborious thing, but the school believes that only by completing the children's dreams can they create a better future for them.
In terms of where the graduates go, 90% of the school's graduates can be admitted to the nine major public schools in the UK, of which 40% of the children enter Winchester College (Winchester College) after graduation, 8% of the students enter Eton College (Eton College), 5% Charterhouse School, 4% Harrow School.

Aldro School, in addition to its excellent academic performance, also pays attention to the all-round development of children. For each child's different needs, the school also has a program called Gifted and Talented, which includes: a rich competition system, club activities, one-on-one guidance, cooperation with external organizations, on-campus performances, outdoor trips and speeches. It is mainly to exercise children's independence, sense of teamwork, sense of responsibility, innovation ability, communication ability and perseverance.
Aldro School has many good connections with many other top secondary schools, such as Charterhouse, Harrow School, Tonbridge School, Wellington College and Winchester College.
For example, of the nearly 30 graduates of Aldro School in 2020, 19 children entered Charterhouse, 2 children entered Harrow School, 4 children entered Winchester College, and 4 children entered Tonbridge School. In addition, other top public schools, such as Eton College and Wellington College, also have graduates enrolled. It can be said that entering this school is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of the nine public schools with one foot.
Godstowe School
After seeing our excellent boys' Feeder School, Niu Niu took everyone to see the same excellent girls Feeder School, Godstowe School (Guedsto School) is the best among the girls' schools, and the more legendary point to the girls' school is that the school is located in Buckinghamshire, not far from London, and created a precedent for British girls' education.
Godstowe School mainly accepts girls aged 7-13 and currently has more than 400 students.
In terms of curriculum, students begin to study 16 natural and social science courses including linguistics, history, chemistry, physics and mathematics at the age of 9, of which linguistics alone covers French, Spanish and Latin. In the process of education, the school integrates educational resources, aiming to broaden children's international vision, innovative thinking ability and basic knowledge and theoretical reserves, and attaches importance to cultivating children's etiquette and morality, laying the foundation for the development of later life.
After graduation, the rate of admission to public school is 100%, and the proportion of students who continue to study at Westminster College and Winchester College also occupies a huge proportion of students who enter the nine major public schools.
In addition, there are many excellent Feeder Schools to choose from in the UK, such as The Pilgrims' School, which has a 40% promotion rate at Winchester College, Bill Grimm Preparatory Primary School, with 35% Eton College, 17% Harrow Preparatory School, and Colet Court, which has a 50% St. Paul School School Collet Court Preparatory Elementary School and more. Judging from the data on the whereabouts of graduates, if you enter the corresponding primary school (Feeder School) of the nine public schools, there is a great probability of directly entering the corresponding nine public schools. Therefore, if for a child with a clear goal in a certain nine public school, entering their counterpart (Feeder School) can be said to be a rare shortcut.

Excellent educational resources bring a better future, Feeder School is not only a way to enter the nine public schools, but also a choice for children to receive quality education in the process of growing up, the opportunity is always left to those who have been prepared, and whether to choose to go to the UK to study Feeder School or Prep School (preparatory school) in the primary school period, should also be based on the child's personality, hobbies and academic level to comprehensively judge, Not all children are suitable for direct attendance at Feeder School.
