Registered my girl in 2B at JWPS, wondering whether I should withdraw it and try luck in the 2C of WGPR? Any one can help to compare these two schools?


WGPR has been more popular than JWPS, right? Since they still have quite a lot seats for 2C, shall I give up JWPS to try WGPR? Headache now... :scratchhead:

Mamasmurf:

There are a number of reasons why JWPS balance figure looks smaller this year.

JWPS only has 240 places as compared to last year which was 270. MOE could have deliberately done so after knowing how many potential registrations are coming from this area and also there are new schools like Westwood Pri having their first registration.

Also I guess last year JWPS produced good results for their PSLE.

Lastly as compared to new schools like Frontier or Westwood Pri around the vicinity that have not been 'tested' many would feel that JWPS is a safer bet.

WGPS historically had many, many applicants (in the hundreds). The school had balloting for those < 1 km for the last few years.

Better don't do that cos you are giving up an already secured place in JWPS and trying your luck for WGPR that qms mentioned is a popular school in Jurong West Ext that requires balloting even for those staying within 1km.


What you can do is to monitor the registration daily and weight your chances accordingly.

Hi, just to share my 2 cents. In the first place, why did you go for JWPS, and now thinking of moving to WGPS? Popularity is one thing, but things can change. JWPS has also been \"full house\" for P2C in the past years, (well, except last year due to the entrance of Frontier that took off some burden in that area), but hard to say for this year. The school might be subjected to balloting in P2C too. Heard around that due to the availiability of the BASC in JWPS soon, it might regain her popularity.

In terms of academic, both schools are comparable. Looking at JWPS website, their top PSLE score was 273 whereas WGPS was about 267 (based on info contributed in PSLE thread for 2011). As for CCAs, you may also consider their achievements and strengths.

At the end of the day, it all depends on the child, both schools are I suppose are equally good.

Thanks for your reply. I went for JWPS becuase I did PV and therefore registered my dd in 2B phase. I had wanted to do PV for WG last yr, but was rejected cos they only need about 35 PV.


I agreed that it will depend on the child at the end of the day whether he or she will be good or not, also depends on the parents' guidance. will seriously think about this and decide by today...

thinking of withdrawing from JW to try WG, partly because saw one of my friend, she gave up 2B chance for JW, and register her dd in 2C of WG...

wondering how many singaporean within 1km have registered their children in WG? as the registered number (155) for 2C on the first day is already more than the vacancy (91), confirm balloting this time. Hard to decide whether to try my luck...
