Being so, you should prepare your child as much as you can for P1 next year. There’s still plenty of time, so no worries.

The most important thing is your child’s knowledge of English. He should be well versed in the alphabet now and be able to read simple story books. In fact, enticing your child to read is the best thing you can do! For my time, Enid Blyton is my most beloved author, but I’m sure you can find others appropriate now.

For me, Chinese was a bit tricky as we only talk in cantonese (plus English, when we want to speak so that our illiterate parents don’t understand 😆 ). That can be corrected by giving him tuition or going for one of the enrichment centres.

For Math, your child needs to be able to count to 100 before getting into primary school, and understand at least addition and subtraction of those numbers. I think that should suffice as preparation for his primary education.

Just like to share that ADMPS is a great school
In the north and my two DDs benefitted from studying there 😄 They truly enjoyed themselves and the programs are great. It is a neighbourhood school but a very good onwith high standards and good caring teachers. My DDs went through two Principals and they are both great - encouraging, hands-on and always implementing new initiatives in the school. Teachers are giving out extra lessons during exams period and sometimes late in the evening. They just want to make sure that the students are well prepared and will do their best. Happy to answer questions about the school either here or via PM. :celebrate:

Its in the booklist but many shared that school doesn’t use the activity book and chinese flashcard.

I went through the afternoon session in P1 and P2. It is no longer there. It is such a pity because I only woke up at 8, did my last minute homework, left the house at 940 and then went to school. The school didn’t even have a lift until 2018. THe ISh came last year. However, the academics is very good. Our exam paper are harder than that of other schools. And if you are not one of the top kids, you are in some trouble. You see, since some children are slower to understand things, the teachers have to go through the easier things for a longer time. And then there is no time to cover the difficult things that come up in the exams. But for me, I enjoyed the challenge. Though you have to keep in mind, that to manage the difficulty level and do well in exams, you need to go for several tuitions. Pretty much every kid in challenge went to tuition(i was from there). Though challenge is not the top anymore since streaming stopped. I was the last batch. From 2021, the psle scoring is going away. I just want to remind you that more time for fun activities doesn’t mean it is good. Because the kids who are gullible and enjoy themselves to their heart’s content because their homework load is light suddenly repent for their mistakes when the practice papers get tough and the exams are difficult. I often used to compare my test papers with my friends from other schools and realised how hard mine were. My parents used to compare my marks with them and often used to say I was scoring badly. Parents, please note that if your kid scores lower than peers from other school, it’s NOT you CHILD’S FAULT. It is the DIFFICULTY OF THE EXAM PAPER. This helped me in the longer run, but the stress that came from it was immeasurable. This is my honest opinion.

However, i noticed that their school hours are pretty long as compared to many other schools.


For P1 and P2 levels:
10am to 2.40pm on Mondays
7.30am to 2.10am on Tuesdays to Fridays

For P3 and up:
7.30am to 2.40pm on Mondays
7.30am to 2.10am on Tuesdays to Fridays

Many other schools dismiss the children by 1+ which makes alot of difference for them to get home early to rest.

Anyone has kids in Admiralty, please share your thoughts about this. Is there any reason why the dismissal is late?

Thanks! :rahrah:

My son is eligible for P1 registration for 2021. He's a PR and we are living within 500m from the school. What is the probability of his chance of getting into the school? I've been told that if you're PR, forget about it..... hope some parents can share some insights. Thank you.
So far balloting only for SG due to demand. Aim for other schools.

Thanks for sharing , and Admiralty Pri School is indeed a very good choice school for this region and very good go see an Alumni who shared their school with pride.

While I am very keen to put my Son in your school , but I missed the PV phase and thus can only go in with 2C within 1km.

I am hoping if someone has the statistics for past year registeration for SC kids within 1km under phase 2c. Need to take a very hard decision as we have secured a very good Hokkien Huay kuay school under earlier phase . For the well being for my Son, shorter travelling time, Admiralty is definitely my TOP choice as we are just 5min away.

I’m pleasantly surprised at the 100% pass rate since 2014. Good job.

Looks like the school’s been quietly upping its academic prowess.

]]>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1888116https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1888116Wed, 05 Dec 2018 05:24:58 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Admiralty Primary on Wed, 05 Dec 2018 04:50:06 GMT]]>I graduated from Admiralty Primary in 2014 and I am currently an EXCO member of the ADMPS Youth Alumni. I will try to provide a detailed overview of the school culture and student life to the best of my knowledge.


1) Facilities: The school’s new Indoor Sports Hall and Indoor Parade Square recently finished construction in 2018. Apart from that, a new Classroom Block was also constructed to cater to the single session. We have three computer labs, two science labs, two art rooms, a dance studio, a music room, a library, and a multi-purpose hall. The canteen is located below the hall and has about six stalls selling great food (mark my words, the food really is good!). There are also two interconnected PAL rooms - formerly known as the AVA room - to conduct co-curricular activities for the P1 and P2 students. The eco-garden situated in the centre of the school was and is still my favourite place in the school. Behind the school, there are several fruit trees. We used to spend recess chasing each other around these gardens, playing hide and seek, and exploring the grounds of the school. There also used to be a Wayang Stage in front of the classroom block: not sure if it’s still around. And of course, we have a full-sized fenced up soccer field, the highlight for many sports loving kids in ADMPS.

2) Teachers, teaching style and academic results: There are many exemplary teachers in ADMPS, with many of them producing stellar students. The teachers I have met are caring yet strict, friendly yet firm, even while they conduct lessons I will remember for life. Even though teaching styles vary by teacher, one thing is for sure: Every student will be able to realise his or her strengths, and their full potential will be brought out. To cite a few examples, for the PSLE, ADMPS has maintained a 100% pass rate from 2014 to now. This year, 10% of students achieved 250 and above for their PSLE scores, from 4.52% of students achieving the same in 2012. The Principal has also declared that the school will be embarking on a new policy to encourage high-performing P4 students to take up Higher Mother Tongue. From this, it is evident that ADMPS has one of the highest standards of education in the area, with results that match up to schools traditionally labelled as "branded". It is no wonder that many parents in the North try to put their kids in ADMPS. (Source: Principal’s slides during 2018 Graduation Ceremony)

3) Other Academic Activities: Students are given opportunities to participate in the UNSW (University of New South Wales) Assessments every year. Selected students participate in the Math Olympiad and Science Olympiad, and there are many other opportunities for students who have talents in every domain. Programmes such as Math Carnivals, Science Fairs, Chinese Learning Journeys and English Reader Programmes are provided for all students. For students who need extra help, Learning Support Programmes are in place for every level. There is also a Study Room programme for P6 students so that they can prepare for the PSLE in a conducive environment.

4) Co-curricular Activities and Enrichment: P1 and P2 students enjoy a holistic co-curriculum newly introduced by MOE known as PAL, or Programme for Active Learning. It involves two broad modules, the arts - visual arts, performing arts (drama) and music, and sports - sports and games, outdoor education, health education. P3 to P6 students participate in a CCA of their choice. P3 students have swimming lessons, while P4 students have an adventure camp and a museum experience. Overseas Learning Journeys (OLJs) are conducted every year for P5 students. In the PE domain, students are exposed to dance and gymnastics even as they focus on the core curriculum of outdoor and health education, and athletics. In the Art domain, students are intoduced to Chinese, Malay and Indian as well as global art forms, while picking up novel skills such as digital art and 3D clay art. At the end of the year, P6 students learn how to run a business through the Junior Entrepreneurship Programme (JEP), while P1 to P5 students get to participate in the bazaar. The P6 students would prepare stalls, booths, haunted houses and other stuff for the P1 to P5 students to spend school-issued coupons on. The money collected from the sale of coupons are then distributed to needy students. In the last three years, the Alumni has participated in JEP as well.

5) Special Occasions: Cultural celebrations are held with much fanfare every year, from CNY to Deepavali. Events such as National Day, Teacher’s Day and Children’s Day are also huge affairs. Every year, the school holds a Mid-Autumn Festival for the youngest students and their parents. Alumni members are also invited to return for Teacher’s Day Celebrations every year.

6) Alumni and PSG: The ADMPS Alumni and Youth Alumni was founded in 2016, and since then the students of every graduating batch automatically join the Alumni. ADMPS also has very strong support from the PSG (Parent Support Group), who have been extremely active contributors since the beginning. To my knowledge, you can join the PSG once your child is accepted in the school.

Overall, ADMPS is one of the premier schools of the north, and one of the few neighbourhood primary schools that rank amongst the elite schools. My parents had to volunteer in the PSG for two years to secure a spot even though we lived within 1km of the school and we are all Singapore Citizens by birth, which is a clear indicator of the school’s prestige amongst schools in the North. It is not easy to get in, but I assure you it is worth it.

If you have questions, do tag me! Thanks for reading.

1. Is the school very focus on academic results or it’s approach is more holistic based, or strict discipline focusing on character building as well?
2. Does the school pay attention to the kids who need more help in their studies?
3. Does the teachers provide regular feedbacks on the overall well-being of the kids?
4. Has the in school student care service started, if not, where do you send your kids to after school if both parents are working and no one at home?

sorry for posing so many questions, hope can get some information to help us in our decision making. Thanks in advance!
