Fairfield Methodist Primary

Hi


Im keen to find out if the majority of the kids here with fmps stays within 1-2km? Any kids from central? I am thinking of sending my kids to give them a holistic learning besides academic striving with emphasis of character building. I am staying in the tiong bahru area and did not see many fmps kids. Only spotted 2 kids in uniform around my area.

We are deciding between sending kids to nearby school radin mas/ river valley/ zhangde primary to a mission/ christian school like fmps. Main reason to send to fmps, a coed christian school nearest to our residence compared to the other christian schools that are either boys/ girls’ school. We did consider sending kids to these but thought there would be too much work for the family and kids to attend diff christian schools. Schools like acs/ mgs/ st margaret etc are not near as well.

Hope to gather some thoughts from the current primary school kids’ parents here if we should take into consideration putting our kids in fmps or just stick to neighouring sch.

How many parents who went thr 2c successfully? How long is sch bus ride from your pl to school for those staying >2km?

My advice is that it is not easy to get into Fairfield even if you stay within 1-2km. Almost every year phrase 2C needs balloting.


Last year was a nightmare for me and others as well. Luckily we got ballot in

Be mentally prepared that even if you shift near the school, you could be ballot out and what is your back up plan.

My son loves the school so much that during weekends whenever we drove pass the school he keep looking at it and look forward to Monday.

Forget to add, those staying >2km usually don’t even have chance to ballot.


You may call the school to check. Give them your postal code and they will advice you accordingly.

Thanks blessedwife for the info. Yes i heard that fairfield is popular and even kids within the 1-2km need to ballot. One of my gf who lived within 1km did pv to secure a phrase 2b for her eldest and got in this year for pri 1. She prob knew the odds of 2c and needed more security for her kids to go fmps.


If i try, i wd be those staying >2km in 2c for ballot. Never know that p1 reg is this competitive until it’ my eldest kid’ turn. Need to really think abt e choices.
