Choosing and Evaluating Primary Schools

[RealWorld]

Hi, there seems to be many questions and doubts on primary one registration among parents. Just wondering if we can organise a session exclusively for members of ‘kiasuparents’ and invite MOE officials to attend to address parents’ concerns ?


It can be the first networking session for us, online parents, to meet in ‘RealWorld’ after chatting on ‘Virtual World’ after some time. Maybe we can even form Parenting Networking Group…

What do you think ? Can we have a poll ?

In terms of performance, Nanyang has consistently been one of the top primary schools. Some people say it's highly stressful there though. Why not check out the Nanyang primary thread to have a sense of the school.

Between these 2 SAP schools, I would go for Nanyang if stay within 1km. My son is at Pei Hwa...so he can send his kids there if he and his wife are agreeable.

Both schools have v good PSLE t-scores, estimated at about low 240(Nanyang), about 230 (NanHua). See 25 apr 2011 5.29pm posting on

NY has the highest estimates that I've come across from my data (no data on CatHigh nor SCGS). NH is about the same as RGPS and TaoNan. Both NY and NH GEP schools which NY having larger GEP cohort. As for school environment, best to check other parents on this website.

I have not many days to decide now… My DS will be in P1 next year.

I live in Sembawang. The school that I intend to send him is Endeavour. I am a ex-student of Red Swastika in Bedok.

Distant is not a problem. I will shift to Bedok if I have chosen Red Swastika. For the time being I can stay with my bro until I have found a flat.

What school would you suggest.

Please comment. Thank you
