All P2 will change classes in P3(depending on their result)?

[darwinkoh]

Based on their P2 results only? i.e. P1 results wont be considered at all?

I was expecting P1 results will be considered though at a lower weightage as compared to P2 results.

I was expecting P1 results will be considered though at a lower weightage as compared to P2 results.

It is based entirely only on end of P2 academic results (Total Weighted from P2 beginning Term 1 to end of Year Term 4), for the 3 subjects (English, Maths, Mother tongue)

No, primary schools do not take into consideration P1 results at all. Zero weightage taken from P1

P2 : 30 pupils, per class
But come P3 : become 40+ pupils, per class
(re-shuffle students, to become a bigger P3 class)

for P3
some schools still have Top (2 or 3) classes (eg : based on Top 80 or 120 pupils from entire P2 cohort results),
whereas other schools had removed / abolished Top few Mainstream classes : all become Mixed Ability classes, instead.
best to find out how your own school, operate


some schools quite particular
They pull out those strong in Chinese, goto attend Higher Chinese class.
best to find out from your own school : how they define pupils as \"strong in Chinese\" ?

What is the marks to get the top 80 or go to the 1st n 2nd best class in p3?

[phtthp]

depend on the standard of the P2 cohort, in your school.

Different school : standard of cohort, differ

You can ask your child Form Tr : to get into Top 2 classes, what is the mean or average score, per subject, based on entire cohort level ?
When they slot pupils goto different P3 classes, is based on entire end of P2 cohort level.

Or can phrase the qn in another way, when u ask Form Tr, during Parents-meet-Tr session :
What is the lowest a pupil need to score, for the Total of 3 subjects at end of P2, in order to get into the Top 2 classes, for P3 ?
Eg
Out of Total 300 marks : what is the lowest Total, before get cut off at 81th position ?

Hi phtthp,


Is this an old system as you mentioned some schools has removed this system?

Are parents informed about this?

Isn't it demoralising for the kids as they are grouped based on their ability?

Hi,

many primary schools currently still having Top class(es).
Some schools have only ONE Top class, some have 2 Top classes, others have 3 Top classes.
They call it streaming :
based on year end results (accumulated from Term 1 right up to Term 4) at end of P2 (into P3), or at end of P4 (into P5).

those pupils streamed to Top classes (or HA : \"High ability\" classes) :
will be \"stretched\", students learn more stuff, at a faster academic pace.


However, there are also some schools that follow MOE direction, move towards \"Mixed ability\" (MA) classes (no more Top class).

It all depend on the direction of your child's school set by the school Principal (P), after P consult MOE and also after P consult parents in your school (via Parents Support group feedback) : which approach parents feel more comfortable with.

Thanks phttp.


I have just verified with his form teacher and apparently, she said is NOT based on results for the 3rd to 6th classes. They are all average. Since she did not mention the 1st and 2nd class, I assumed the 1st and 2nd class are the good ones as they might be taking higher mother tongue.

According to her, she said 3.3 is as good as 3.6. Class 3.3 to 3.6 are all average ability students. Not sure is it true. Sometimes they will not reveal to the parents.

According to my colleague who has went through this said in P4 they will be streamed again. So have to really work hard for P3 and P4 to go to a better class if now he’s in average class.

Just want to understand how Chongfu "streams" P2 students as there is no exams in P1 & P2. How to tell which is/are the better class/classes when there is no grading?

I think it’s a question best directed at the school / school’s teachers as different schools use different methods.
