Any info on chongfu psle result in term of how many 250 n above? Based on the psle t score thread, it seem that those related to Hokkein Huey primary school have at least 25% with 250 n above.

Chongfu did not put how many scored 250 and above this year. Only put

3A* - 18
4A* 6
Mean T-Score (all pupils) - 220.8

What happen to chongfu? In 2011 they have 20 student with 260 n above. What did they not do in 2013 as compare to 2011? Is it because the focus from the new principle is different?

Any idea how many students sat for psle this year? Reason could be good students transferred out for GEP, at least 10-15 students per year. Seems like less than half the top 2 classes get 3A* with total of 24 students with 3A* and above.

The overall T scores are lower than last year across all the schools in Singapore. I do not think the principal should be questioned about the results. The school results are based on the cohort and the cohort is different every year.


As for transferred students, it has always been around the same number transferred each year. So that does not explain the lesser number of students with 3A*. There are students with 2A2A and the T-score is above 250.

So in short, there could be more students with scores above 250 but do not have 3A.

Also, the average mean score of 220 this year is already an improvement from last year which was 216.6 (as shown in slides during PSLE release last year). The percentage going to express stream has also increased from 79% to 84%.

According to my friend ; Red sawstika achieved 100% to Express . their school put in a lot of effort in building the children to self learning and also set exam according to the school level and PSLE standard. they never lower the exam standard but encourage and teach the children to face the challenges.

Chongfu has never been the top top school. It is what I call a mid tier school…reasonably good and with the right help from parents kids can do very well.


So if you are looking for 100% pass…maybe wrong school.

CF previously was a top school(10 over years ago); and later only the top school in the north zone and now .....

Red Swatika Pri does not achieve its present result over night. the school set the direction and goal to uplift the weaker student to an express stream level. They are not the top top school as well. (express stream is around 200 mark=average 70/subject)

The principle, teachers and parent are the main players in achieving this. By lowering the exam standard is just let everyone living in mirage. the reality will surface when come to national exam.

look at our surrounding, our competition(in the company) come from all over the world, be it low skill, middle and higher level management. the companies will not lower the requirements just to suit singaporean as they are facing competition from all over the world.

You are right that competition comes from everywhere…so a school exam alone is never a good guage of how well a kid is performing. It is always comparative. One year of easy paper should not get parents all too worried. At the same time, I am sure a lot of parents here supplement the school exams with practise paper from other schools exam. That is good enough to help guage how well your kid is doing.


The question for the new principal is what is her plan and vision for the school, in terms of academic excellence, CCA achievements, students behavior/values, etc. Let her show us her plan. This year’s PSLE performance is not her doing…it’s the previous principal’s.

I beg to differ with the above comments posted. It is never a fair comparison to compare a SAP school (Red Swastika School) with Chongfu School. For example, although both are government-aid school, but a SAP school like RSS only offers Chinese as the Mother Tongue whereas Chongfu offers Chinese, Malay and Tamil languages.

My boy is in Primary 5 this year and I must say that the SA2 is a fair paper, with a right mix of both basic and challenging questions. A good paper is one that will stretch and prepare the students for national examinations. However, to OVER-Stretched/OVER-test when school go far beyond the syllabus would greatly affect a kid's morale and confidence level. On this, I have faith in the school management (Chongfu as well as like many other schools) and believe that no school will deliberately set easy internal school exams papers that will eventually jeopardize their PSLE results and put their students at risk

My boy has been blessed with very dedicated and committed teachers throughout his education in Chongfu to date. I believe there are many parents like myself who are glad and happy to have our kids studying in Chongfu. :please:
