Hear from parents about their experiences with Nan Chiau Primary School.
"In summary, Nan Chiau is likely the better school in Sengkang West, though I think NCPS it does not rank amongst the top three SHHK schools. To further develop your child's strengths, additional tuition or enrichment classes will be necessary. If schools like RGS primary, Rosyth, Tao Nan, etc. gets a 5 out of 5, and the average neighbourhood primary schools gets a 3 out of 5, then I would give NCPS a 3.5 out of 5. Based on information from my grandchild who graduated in 2024, here are some details: 1. Total number of students: 313 2. Average number of students per class: 39 Staff Turnover: My grandchild believes the average staff turnover is about one teacher per year. Student Performance: In 2024, 99.7% of students are promoted to secondary school. One of the students did not promote to secondary school. Although the school did not disclosed the number of students scoring below AL10, my grandchild estimates fewer than 10 students achieved an AL4 score. CCA Strength: Wushu is probably their strongest CCA. Affiliation: Nan Chiau Primary is not affiliated with any secondary school."

"Nan Chiau Primary is amazing. Just graduated last year. The teachers there on the whole are quite nice but there is one art teacher who keeps scolding my class and telling us to keep quiet even though none of us were talking (mdm chee) 🙄 There are many ccas there and the teachers are funny and dedicated. Wish I could retake the whole school year again😭😭😭 recommend this school if u want to go to a good sec school but if u end up in mdm chee’s class I wish u good luck🫡"

"NCPS is an excellent school as I have learnt many things from the teacher The teachers there are awesome as they would sometimes use their time to teach the students after school as they do not know how to do the work"
