Jurong West Primary

According to the form teacher, they don't go by banding per subject but overall percentage (tests and exams results from Term 1- 4). T4 carries the highest weightage, 40%. So for those who did well in SA2, results got pulled up while those who did badly will be pulled down.


The school sieve out top 80 pupils based on their overall marks in %. Students going to G, F classes should be getting at least 85% (Band 1 grade) and above). For those below 85% will be assigned accordingly into E, D, ... classes.

G class percentage should be ranging from 99%, 98%, 97% ... till it reaches the 40th student, closed door. Next 41th-80th students will go to F class. G class students should be getting B1 for all subjects, it just makes sense.

For F class, some may get B1 for all three subjects, or at least 2 B1 subjects + high B2 for the other. Like SAHM2KIDS said, all the results are very closed.

The above is the same practice in Nanyang (from a friend) except that they have 160 high achievers into four classes. NYP has 13 classes in P1-P2 unlike the usual 9-10 classes!

All these rankings/bandings and getting into the top classes are making me anxious, thou my DS is only P1 this year, but can really feel the "heat". Apparently, the class did really well, and their results are very close.

Tks![/quote]No tuition/enrichment for DD so far and she managed well. Think I will continue to monitor her work until she really can't cope then I'll put her on tuition/enrichment.

Unfortunately or fortunately she did not manage to get into G so she is going 3F. If she's in G class she might be the last in the cream of the crop class lol. But we are very pleased with her overall results and performance in school. When parents from G/F shared with me their kids' results, they were indeed very very close. I heard about 10 or more kids getting the same aggregate in the same class! If you look at their class and level standard, I think the JWPSians are doing very well on average. We can't really gauge their academic based on P1-2 till they progress to upper primary as some are really late bloomers. School is a long journey, we ought to make it a fun learning journey for them and give our best support. After this P2 -> P3 streaming, the tension is lesser but also prepare to gear up for next year, additional Science!
