"worst school ever, DO NOT let your child get into this school unless you want them to get bullied. the teachers honestly do not even care and wont do anything to help. ever since the first day i got into this school i HATED the school already. after school care when my parents were outside waiting i told the teacher that they were outside and i could get dismissed because i do not want them waiting too long but the teacher said no and i already showed them proof on my phone but the teacher didnt care. that year ive been bullied alot and it affected how i acted, my personality and grades. Please check your child’s phone for any cyber bullying as they could be suffering in silence. Even during recess students use their phones/devices in the school bathroom to text people or even bully (so far from my experience i didnt hear someone get bullied in the school bathroom but i did hear that someone broke the school bathroom door). either way just dont make your child stay in this school its just bad. worst school in my whole entire life 🙏"

"I’m now in secondary school and I want to talk abt this one. I had so many amazing teachers like Mr Goh and Mrs Yang. I got AL15 for pale and now I’m in St Andrew’s sec school. School has the most sigma ppl ever"

"I’m now in Zhonghua, I graduated from fpps two years ago, Fpps has actually taught me some values like adaptability etc and also other stuff which actually benefited me later on and I was actually so shocked by that yangzheng primary school didn’t teach like some life lessons taught by fpps. The teachers who teach foundation subjects are very good teachers and so is other teachers, my ex-teacher who taught foundation Math and foundation English had helped me a lot and I got into normal academic/G2 math and English. Just something I’d like to say is that every school has at least one or a few racist teachers, there won’t be one school that has none plus I think you can change classes? I’m not so sure. But fpps has really taught me a lot of things, I think if I wasn’t in fpps I’d be failing my psle and o-level in the next 2 years and face some well being difficulties. The teachers and counsellors were there for me when I got laughed at for being weak in Chinese etc, I’m really grateful for everything they have done. One last thing to say, I had a talent in art and my teachers recognised it and got me into syf which really made me happy. Thinking back makes me want to cry a bit as it is better than compared to now but I don’t like fpps new principal everything changed after he came into the school, things got worse and my mother thinks so too, Ms Cheong the previous principal was very kind and supportive she spreads a lot of positivity. In fact Mr Yap promised my p6 level that he would move the outdoor plan to after psle but he didn’t even let us go do the outdoor plan and just cancelled it so pretty much he broke his promise Originally the teachers cared very much for students and would take things seriously but after Mr yap joined as the new principal I feel like they slowly started caring less for students, I already knew that the school would go downhill without Ms Cheong and I always had a bad feeling about Mr Yap (Seriously Mr yap, whatever you’re doing to the school that makes it even worse stop it. Also thank you Ms candy, Mr ravinder, Mr Lim, mdm Wu(Chinese teacher), Ms Chua(the one that teaches p1 and 2) and Ms Kan for being there in my entire duration in fpps.)"

"(23 Feb 2025) Ok decent school I left this sch a year ago Ms Cheong is the best principal ever but she left and the new one Mr Yap isnt as good. He's more strict and stuff, did almost nothing for after end of year exams. Meh- When Stamford merged, everything became worse, I mean it was ok lah The teachers are ok, Mr Goh G S (not stating full name for obvious reasons) was the best teacher ever🔥🔥. He taught me math but left this sch already but if you know him and was taught by him good for you. A lot of my fav teachers left this sch already so sad. Anyways somehow I managed to take some photos of the school EHEHEHEHE here you go The first photo is the parade square from lvl 4 Second photo is parade square frm level 2 Third photo is the classroom block, yes I know it's boring with a little but also boring garden at the bottom Fourth photo is 2nd level corridor leading to the hall, also boring That's it and, yes, these photos were took at late April I think"
