2020 P1 Registration Exercise for 2021 In-take

[cheerful_mummie]

I would like to have some advice from fellow parents here. Will be registering for 2B in sengkang, but am wondering which is a better choice. Fernvale pri, Sengkang Green or Fern Green? Any reason why? I like Fern Green as it is a new school, hence have new facilities. But heard that the principal is not very good, lack of experience.

Dear all, any idea where i can check for 2019 PSLE scores or % of students going to express stream for the schools I am interested in? I am looking at Fernvale Primary, Fern Green Primary, Anchor Green Primary and Sengkang Green Primary. Thanks.

I find it puzzling that people feel that the Principal of Fern Green lacks experience, considering that she has been holding the position of P since 2010. It’s probably an issue of mismatch expectations vs reality.

Of the three schools listed, Sengkang Green is the second most popular primary school in SK (the most popular school is obviously Nan Chiau). I’m assuming there’s a reason that could account for its popularity over the years. Therefore, if you want to go with the herd mentality, you may want to consider SK Green for phase 2B, as 2B is almost a guaranteed placement.

Such data not available publicly since... a long time ago. Furthermore, Fern Green is a new school, I don’t think they have any P6 PSLE batches yet. Notwithstanding, considering that the demographics of the 4 schools are quite similar, I don’t think you should expect a wide disparity in terms of % to Express, NA or NT.

You would have chance for ballot that’s for sure. Frankly, once balloting is involved, % may not mean much at all.

Backup school will depend on what’s available. Generally, it will be the nearest school still with vacancies.

Thanks Floppy!


Seems like all the nearby schools are quite popular. No idea what schools will have vacancies during 2CS. Any views will be appreciated. Thank you!

Not all nearby schools will be filled by 2CS. Depending on where within 1km of KHS you stay, possible back up options are GMPS, TKPS, Canossa Convent.
