Not true that none from 2.5-2.8 class got into IP next year. In fact, one of the class has approx 10 students accepted for the program.

Hi Belle07,


There are many happy parents around just that they are not active in KP. My elder son told me last night that he missed his teachers and friends at Anderson Primary, despite being posted to his dream secondary school - a well known Independent school. He related to me the strong bonding among friends and I would see tears in his eyes.

We cannot expect perfection and there will be \"not so good teachers and students\" in every school. As long as we play our part in nurturing our child in partnership with the school, every school is a good school

Hi Breezy and Zeemimi,


Many thanks for sharing. Appreciate it!

Hi,


I was told earlier that class allocation is based on selection of MT but my son is posted to a class where only 3 students (and he is one of them) are taking HMT. Approx. 30% exempted from MT :nailbite:

The above composition seems odd to me if basis of allocation is based on MT. Does this mean my son is posted to a \"miscellaneous\" class?

Hi all,


My elder son just graduated from Anderson Pri this year and I have a younger son who will be doing P4 next year. It saddens me to see the negative comments posted in this tread as I personally feel that Anderson Pri has progressed these years, compared to where it was six years ago.

The previous Principal was very good at engaging the students and well liked by the students. He had implemented several initiatives (eg. New playground, IT Kiosks, annual family fun fair, overseas exchanged programs and etc) during his tenure. A very holistic environment, not academic driven at all. Kids were very happy but not the parents. We were stressed over the academic performance (no streaming, minimum homework…) and worried that our kids would not do well in PSLE and get into a good secondary school.

The new Principal came on board two years ago and she works very differently from her predecessor. She is not a "marketing" person. I would say, more proper and serious. The kids also took a while to adapt to her style - no jokes. Instead, kids are constantly being reminded to be disciplined and well behaved. The test and exam papers are set at a higher level. As parents, we observed that the quality of education has improved. It is still holistic but balancing with some academic focus.

My son and almost all of his classmates have done well this PSLE and got into their choice of secondary school (HCI, RGS, CHS, SJI, Anderson Sec and etc) The form teacher organized BBQs for them since P5 and the teacher- students bonding is great. I am sure these fond memories will stay with them and they will continue to keep in contact with each other.

Give the school and the Principal a chance. Anderson Primary is a good school and I am sure it will progress well under the leadership of the current Principal.

Hi Autolycus,


May I know what is the ratio of express vs IP students in ACSI for past few intakes?

Anybody knows what is the top score for Anderson Pri?
