      If you want to transfer, I would think you should submit your application now and get on the waiting list. When a vacancy arises, the school will probably ask you to supply the latest results anyway.

        Yes, just send in SA1 first, then end of year, the school will ask you to send in SA2 if there are vacancies.


        If you are just transferring to a not so popular school, then average results are OK. If you are eyeing a top school with many on the waiting list, then all subjects should have Band 1 results, preferably with strong performance in a CCA or niche areas.

            Can we use first round GEP letter to ask for transfer to GEP school? What would be a good reason if child do not have special talents?

              You can ask for transfer to GEP school but your kid cannot enter the GEP stream. At most just the high ability mainstream class. Good results will do for some schools if your kid has no niche talents. Of course, no harm in submitting the GEP first round letter for added oomph.

                Beside using the first round GEP letter,u must also use yours kid school results to transfer into the GEP school.And they will asign your kid to the main stream class for the first year.If he/she did well on the SA exam with flying colors for that year,then they will consider putting the kid to the higher ability class.
