Ability-based Grouping

Nurturing Every Child

What Ability-Based Grouping means for your child

Pupils will be nurtured to do their best and achieve their potential.

Why Ability-Based Grouping? • To provide more flexibility to pupils to strengthen their

area of excellence while levelling up on the other subjects

• To allow teachers to focus more on the learning needs of each pupil and to tailor their teaching strategies

• To recognise pupils with different abilities and allow them to proceed at their pace.

Class Allocation from P2 to P3

Based On English & Mathematics Overall Results

Group 1

Smaller class enrolment for

pupils who require additional

attention and support

Group 2

To accommodate pupils with a

balance of various academic abilities

Group 3

Greater focus on strengthening pupils’ area of

excellence while levelling up on other subjects

P2 to P3 MT Class Allocation

Pupils will be grouped accordingly based on their MT performance.

Self-Discipline Level 2018

Emphasis on the need for each pupils to be self-disciplined

Inculcating good learning habits and routines • Time Management

(prioritise work, balance work & CCA)

• Self-directed Learning (setting personal learning goals)

Setting and being responsible for their own timetable (e.g. after school hours)

Self Care Practicing safety rules independently (e.g. using the pedestrian crossing)

Prepare our children for the test of life

and not a life of tests
