Partnership overview

Through-train secondary & primary · Long-term university guidance advisory

A through-train secondary and primary school affiliated to Hong Kong Baptist University, HKBUAS educates students across both local and international curricula and sends a substantial cohort abroad each year. Its leadership sought a university guidance function of the same standard as its academic provision.

Institutional challenge

Build a structured pathway for highly competitive global admissions.

Develop a structured Oxbridge and elite university preparation pathway while strengthening consistency and capability within the school's university guidance function.

01
Raise the ceiling of cohort outcomes
Establish a credible route to Oxbridge, UK G5 and Hong Kong's top three for students already performing at the highest academic level.
02
Standardise application quality
Introduce a consistent review standard so that outcome quality does not depend on which member of staff supports a given student.
03
Build internal capability
Build the school's own guidance capability through methodology, professional training, workflows and reporting structures over the course of the partnership.
04
Strengthen leadership oversight
Provide termly, evidence-based reporting that helps school leadership understand cohort progress, comparative performance and the priorities for the next stage.
