劍橋試重要嗎？

好多小朋友在K3前考劍橋starter，請問in 小學時，學校會否看呢？或是在放profolio 內。學校有幾看重呢？有沒有這經驗分享？

As a parent, I do not think it is important if your kids' English is good in both conversations and writing.

However, many parents may object to my opinions.

其實學校會否睇或睇幾重冇人confirm到,有同學仔媽咪話DBS簡介會上校長提過portfolio只佔5%,仲要係入到2nd interview先會睇。經過啱啱考完小學嘅經驗,學校注重小朋友character多過awards/certificates,身邊唔少同學仔(包括我囡在內),都冇考Cambridge Starters,但都可以考到好學校。

Agreed.  It's somehow a way to know your standard of English provided that under the child is under no stress.

i think it is at least a qualification from a reputable organisation... no harm in taking it

To me ... no harm doesn't mean worth spending time and $$. There are many fun and effective way of learning English rather than learning through exam preparation (esp for KG kids).

My friends / relatives (who are pri sch teachers and interviewers or who have kids applying P1) all told me that these kinds of cert. are of no use in winning a place in P1. May be it might help interview performance?! I don't know. However, I do believe learning from experience / activities is more suitable for small kids.

Sorry if I've offended anyone here, I just want to express my views.

Here is another example.  My daughter got 15 shields in starter and I attached the cert when applied P1.  But, we failed in DGJS, SFA and got "waiting" in some famous primary schools.  I think Cert is not important in applying P1.
