I believe Pathlight takes in children with autism and related disorders, including severe dyslexia. Best to contact them directly to find out.

A good friend of mine has a DS who recently transferred there from a popular boys school. He was borderline autistic and the experts had advised my friend that she could leave him in the regular system if she wanted (he would struggle with some subjects) or move him to Pathlight. It was a difficult decision for her but she made the transfer, and he is now very happy there.

Seems to me that the environment there is good.

Those whom were caught were probably due to the fact that they ultimately did not stay in the address they used during registration. If a family genuine stays in the address they use for registration after enrollment, I think such cases are genuine and should not be penalised.


Correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct. those that were caught were usually those who only used the address as a letterbox (ie not staying there). But moving house is something not to be taken lightly. it's one thing to get kid into a good school, but if one is staying too far away, a LOT of sacrifices have to be made for the next 6 (or more if multiple children) years - wake up early, pickup from school esp if got cca.

Mine is in P1 this year in a school that is nearby. Not an elite school though still popular in the neighbourhood. We did entertain thoughts of moving. But childcare concerns meant it's best we stay put. No regrets. Kid is doing well, and I believe, well regarded by his teachers also. best of all, he can wake up later each morning.

Completely agree! The best school may not necessarily be the best for your child!

Looking at the results this year, those in P2B and 2C are most probably staying nearer to the schools. I suspect the group of students that stays farther from the school would be those in P2A as enrollment is not hindered by the distance of their house from the school.

Just an observation.

Very true, but those who are eligible for 2a may not consider more than being able to get in without much work. Know a family who has to wake up really early to get young one from punggol to bt timah every morning. Not easy
