Hello helpful folks at KSP,

Will be registering my SG50 daughter for P1 this year. Will like to seek your opinion:

1) We bought a place in Siglap, <1km Ngee Ann Pri, 1-2km to Tao Nan, CHIJ Katong, Opera Estate, and St Stephen's.
- Of those above, which will you choose? I know Tao Nan is out (coz 2C), St Stephen's too.

2) What if Haig girls come into the picture?

3) We hear that there are many parents who send their daughters to St Margaret's and recommend the school as it emphasizes character, not just academic. We are open to consider this too, just not sure about the schools near our place. So thought can ask for some help here.

Thank u!

I second Davischew comment. There is no strong, compelling reason to pick SMPS over CHIJ Katong. If it’s a choice between the two, pick the nearest one.

The other school that is worth considering is Ngee Ann Primary. If you have boys / sons, I would pick this over CHIJ Katong. However, if you only have girls / daughters, stick to CHIJ Katong.

Hi there folks! I’d like to enquire on a good primary school at Woodlands… gravitating towards either Riverside Primary or Admiralty/Woodgrove… any thoughts? Can’t seem to find a legit Pri school ranking. Thanks all…

Thanks for the advice Davischew and Floppy. Any particular reason why I should go for CHIJ Katong vs Ngee Ann, since they can go Ngee Ann too? E.g. all girls school is better, not so good for girls to go ngee ann, grades, culture, etc?

Yes, the reason (at least for me) has to do with the affiliated secondary school - not about THE school but rather, the TYPE of school.

Most people generally acknowledged that studying in single gender schools are better, especially at the secondary level. Could be due to lesser BGR distraction, or that being with those of similar gender allows them to grow / develop without gender stereotyping etc. Whatever the reasons, single gender secondary schools are very popular, as reflected in the COP. For girls, the minimum score without affiliation is ~230 (not very high, but not low either). While the AL score is likely to change this somewhat, there’s no reason to believe that single gender schools will become less popular.

Therefore, if you could secure a foothold in a primary school with affiliation to a girl’s school, that would be advantageous and open up more possibilities in future.

Hi, does any one know if primary school has open houses and usually when will open houses be held if P1 registration is in the July period?

Most of the schools used to hold their usual open house between April - Jul.

With the current situation, most of these schools have opted for e-Open House instead.

Suggest you visit the Facebook page of the schools you shortlisted to get periodic updates.
