O ya. I asked colleagues and they also mentioned ChongFu is affillated with an association or something. And they also mentioned Northland Pri has becoming quite good now due to a principle transferred over from a good school?

Understand Chong Fu is a school which drills students in Maths.

Nan Hua is GEP school. So their results may be highly dependent on these students. Putting all GEP students aside, what was the highest score for the past few yrs?


The above I believe applies to all GEP schools, not forgetting that 2010 top PSLE student from Rosyth was from the GEP. We definitely expect GEP students to perform better.

I will be more keen to know the highest marks of the non-GEP cohort in the GEP schools. However, I think quite difficult to get this information.

Personally, I think will be good if can get into a non-GEP but still popular and good school.

Hi Scary, may I ask what is a GEP school?

GEP = Gifted Education Programme. It's for selected students from P4-P6. The programme is run in 9 centres.
