Sec Sch in the west for 194

[oliveminx]

Bt Panjang is a good school. They are in Band 1 for Express as well as N(A). They also have achievement award for Academic Value Added so your ds should have chance to improve his results there. Heard that the students are well-behaved and helpful.

You can try to get feedback on the culture there from BPGH's parent networking group.

Can anyone tell me how BPGHS do the job to achieve band 1? Was it from clever teaching or sheer grilling? I understand a Kiasu parent who graduated from there said lower secondary sch was given higher secondary sch work to stretch them. If this is the method, it is not suitable for my son as he learns well from basics.

If they cover the basics and still stretch the students or if the teachers will give extra coaching to students weak in foundation, I don’t think it’s an issue. You have to go ask parents who have kids there. If the sch only teaches basic, the results cannot hit band 1. Pls go visit the parents networking group for BPHS as I doubt they will be checking the PSLE forum much.

Thank you so much. I know that Kranji is good but I did find them a bit too obessed with discipline on punctuality, hair/skirt/socks length etc.

Can be good preparation for army reservist
