Anybody knows how good is Bt Timah Primary School? Highly recommended? Yes/No

The general consensus is that BTPS has low in-take during earlier Phases primarily because of people who stay around the area is confident that they can get into BTPS in Phase 2CS, so they don't mind trying their luck for one of the more \"elite\" schools like NYPS and RGPS in Phase 2C.

Most parents who get into BTPS are happy with their school, even though it may be their 2nd choice. In fact, a number of kids in BTPS \"migrate\" to the elite GEP schools in the neighbourhood schools at Pri 4, only because BTPS does not run the GEP programme.

if one fine day suddenly BTPS run the GEP programme, then it'll no longer be the Phase 2C supp school anymore, but join the 'elite' category, become a highly much sought after school.

More than 10 yrs ago it was a more popular than now, my nephews & nieces used to go to e school & it was under Mr Raja. I see that Mr Raja stepped down in Y2006 & the vice principal of HPPS took over. And seems then popularity went down. Saw from the balloting history data, BPPS was in "green" in P2CSupp - balloting for more than 2 km in y2006. Subsequently the years after that were cleared of balloting.

BTPS is now under a different P. Her name is here:-

No official data on this. If you're interested you can check with all the different schools and report back here.

may i know any Bukit Timah school allow students wear black shoes to school, instead of just confine to wearing white canvas shoes only ?


this way, no need to wash shoes every week.

Don't remember seeing any students wearing black shoes around here. Every Sat night, I wash 2 pairs of shoes and coat the canvas part after that.

My girl is very picky about her school school and would only wear "feminine style" shoes. Like those mary janes style. Hard to find and those are pvc coated and can easily wipe down with a wet cloth.
