📘 How to Collect PSLE Results 2025
Students will collect their PSLE results in person from their primary schools. Each school will give parents and students specific instructions on the collection process.
If your child cannot return to school, you may appoint a proxy to collect the results on their behalf. This must be arranged by 27 November 2025.
🧭 How to Choose a Secondary School in 2025
Choosing a secondary school is a major milestone. To support your child in finding the best fit, consider the following factors.
🌱 School Culture and Environment
Think about what your child needs to feel confident and supported. Some learners thrive in structured settings. Others do better in creative or collaborative environments.
⭐ Distinctive Programmes and Opportunities
Schools offer specialised programmes in areas such as STEM, applied learning, sports and the arts. These programmes play a big role in a child’s motivation and interest.
📚 Subjects and CCA Offerings
With Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB) fully implemented, students can customise their learning pathways. Explore subject options and CCAs to ensure the school aligns with your child’s strengths.
📊 How to Use COPs the Right Way
MOE recommends including two to three schools with Cut-Off Points (COPs) that are less stringent than your child’s PSLE score.
Remember: COPs can shift every year due to cohort performance and choice patterns. Use them as a reference, not a fixed indicator.
