Fyling Hall School

I’ve been at Fyling Hall for just over a term now. I came from Hong Kong. Fyling Hall was the most reasonably priced private school and when I looked on the website, I liked the small school family atmosphere in the middle of a national park and not crowded, like back at home in Hong Kong. When I first arrived, I was a bit nervous, but I soon made friends who have helped me settle. I like the small class sizes and I think the music, arts and drama are really good over here at Fyling Hall. I made the right decision coming to Fyling Hall. I hope to stay until I finish my A Levels. That’s another 4 years! I would recommend Fyling Hall to anybody in Hong Kong because it is so different, small, beautiful and clean air. It makes me a lot less stressed than I was at home.

Hi, my name is Keith and I am from Hong Kong. I am also a boarder at Fyling Hall School. It is always fun to be a boarder here because we have a lot of activities that we can do. For example, we can do horse-riding in games and there are lots of different trips running at the weekends.

In my first year at Fyling Hall I realised how different both the school and the British culture were to what I was used to in Hong Kong. I also had to learn a new language! But I still made a lot of friends because my snacks from Hong Kong were so good, they were very curious about the food I brought with me. We made a deal - I gave them food and they taught me English!

Out of school, I did a lot of mountain-biking with my friends. They were very nice to me, even their parents. They took me to many places to bike, like Dalby Forest and Raincliffe. They were beautiful and there were lots of jumps and trials. My friends taught me how to do some tricks, like whips and scrups. I learnt the words for the tricks from them too!

I don’t think boarding is boring, it’s probably even better than being at home and staying with your mum all day!
