reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"a year ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"This is the worst school I have ever seen.\n\nIn 2020, my child was admitted through the year 7 of this school. However, due to the epidemic, we called our child back to home to study, and wrote to this school to stress that it was forced to give up due to the epidemic. In the second year, we continued to register and took the test. The school said that our child's grades were not enough, so we wrote to the school to ask which subjects were not good.\n\nThe first email said:'Many thanks for getting in touch. I am very sorry but I am unable to add anything to my previous note. It is simply a case of scores in the objective tests being too low for admittance to King\u00e2\u0080\u0099s because with such a strong and extensive list of applicants we had to raise the level of application this year.'\n\nThe second email said:'Many thanks. He didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t do badly in the online tests, it is just that we placed the threshold for entry very high this year. HIs scores in the written English paper were also below the threshold for entry this year. Entry to the Remove (year 10) year is always extremely difficult given the fierce competition for a very small number of places.'\n\nI think we did not get a fair competition in the test. It is just because we did abondon in 2020 due to pademic.\n\nBut we just doubt the school admission has a great problem. I am pleased that my son did not go to this school and I think if there is some teachers like this, we can not study well in this school","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"This is the worst school I have ever seen.\n\nIn 2020, my child was admitted through the year 7 of this school.
