Does it mean that even though they don't get into GEP, they are automatically assured a good class next year?
most GEP schools would have by now a category called \"high ability\" class which caters for those who just missed the GEP selection by a little....around the 95th - 99th percentile, since GEP is for the 99th ~ 100th percentile
they would probably band them tightly in those classes for accelerated learning and allocate the best subject teachers .... (logically speaking) -

trileets:
how about NYPS? Any one has any idea?
your kid in NYPS ?
those with good results in P3, plus just missed the GEP selection, will be in \"high ability\" class, for the last 3 years. Not sure what the new principal will do this year
