在英國教育體系中,選擇一所優質中學往往決定了孩子的未來發展。隨著2026年《泰晤士報》(The Times)中學聯盟排行榜的最新發布,我們再次見證了公立與私立學校的激烈競爭。這份聯合排行榜綜合考量了A-level考試成績、GCSE考試表現、學生進升率以及整體學術成就,將全國頂尖的公立(state)和私立(private)中學置於同一平台進行比較。無論是資源豐富的私立名校,還是高效運作的公立菁英校,它們都展現了英國教育多元化的魅力。
今年排行榜的亮點在於,儘管私立學校佔據前幾席,但多所公立學校憑藉優異的師資和社區支持,穩居前列。這不僅反映了教育公平的進展,也為家長們提供了更多選擇。以下是2026年頂尖10所聯合中學的摘要(基於《泰晤士報》數據,排名依整體分數排序)。這些學校不僅在學術上領先,還注重全面發展,如STEM教育、藝術培養和領導力訓練。

公立學校的崛起
相較2025年,2026年排行榜上 State School 的比例上升了15%,如Hills Road和Colchester Royal Grammar School的躍升,歸功於政府加大對 6th Form College 的投資。這些學校不僅學費免費,還提供獎學金支持弱勢學生。Private School 雖佔優勢,但面臨招生壓力,許多開始開放更多獎助名額以吸引多元背景的學生。
專家指出,後疫情時代,家長更注重學校的心理健康支持和遠距學習能力。頂尖學校如St Paul’s已引入AI輔助教學,幫助學生適應數位轉型。對於華裔家庭而言,這些學校的國際化環境特別友好,多數提供中文補充課程。
家長指南:如何選擇?
- 學術導向:優先A-level分數高的學校,如前三名。
- 全面發展:考慮課外活動豐富的如Highgate School。
- 地理因素:倫敦學校交通便利,但郊區如Guildford更宜居。
- 申請Tips:及早準備11+入學考試,私立校面試注重個性展現。
2026年的英國中學教育,展現出更多可能性。無論公立或私立,優質教育皆在觸手可及。家長可瀏覽《泰晤士報》官網獲取完整數據。
