Release of 2024 PSLE Results

Students who sat for the 2024 Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) received their results today. Arrangements were made for students to receive their results in their respective primary schools.

Performance of 2024 Primary 6 Cohort

Eligibility for Secondary School

2             A total of 40,894 Primary 6 students sat for the PSLE this year, of which 98.5% are assessed suitable for secondary school.

3             The remaining students may choose to re-attempt the PSLE next year. Alternatively, Assumption Pathway School (APS) and NorthLight School (NLS) offer customised programmes with a more experiential and hands-on learning approach, which can benefit these students. Students who have attempted the PSLE once and would like to apply to APS or NLS can do so with a recommendation from their primary school principal.

Eligibility for Subjects at a More Demanding Level

4             Under Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB), students who are eligible for Posting Groups 1 and 2 (offering most of their subjects at G1 and G2 respectively) may offer English Language, Mother Tongue Languages, Mathematics, and Science at a more demanding level from Secondary 1 (S1) based on their Achievement Level (AL) scores for the respective subject. Students who scored AL 5 or better for a PSLE Standard subject can take the subject at G3 or G2 and students who scored at least AL 6 for a PSLE Standard subject or AL A for a PSLE Foundation subject can take the subject at G2. For the 2024 Primary 6 cohort, about 65% of students eligible for Posting Groups 1 and 2 can take at least one subject at a more demanding level. This is comparable to the previous year’s cohort.

5             More details on Full SBB and the eligibility criteria to take subjects at a more demanding level can be found at: https://www.moe.gov.sg/microsites/psle-fsbb/full-subject-based-banding/secondary-school-experience.html.  

S1 Posting Exercise

6             The S1 Option Form to select secondary schools will be given to eligible students together with their PSLE results. The S1 Option Form provides key information regarding the submission of school choices.

7             A unique S1 Personal Identification Number (S1 PIN) to access the S1 Internet System (S1-IS) can be found on the top-right hand corner of the S1 Option Form. Students should use the S1 PIN to log in to the S1-IS and submit their S1 school choices and options online after discussion with their parents.

8             The S1-IS will be accessible from 11.30am on Wednesday, 20 November 2024 to 3.00pm on Tuesday, 26 November 2024 through MOE’s S1 Posting website at www.moe.gov.sg/s1-posting.

9             When choosing a secondary school that would be a good fit for the student’s overall educational needs, strengths and interests, students and parents are encouraged to consider a holistic range of factors. This includes the school’s distinctive programmes, subject offerings, Co-Curricular Activities, ethos, culture, location and support for Special Educational Needs, if required. Students are strongly encouraged to include at least 2 to 3 schools within their 6 school choices where their PSLE score is better than the school’s previous year’s cut-off points. This will help increase their chances of securing a place in one of their preferred schools.

10          For a more holistic understanding of the offerings by the 140 secondary schools taking part in the 2024 S1 Posting Exercise, students and parents can visit SchoolFinder (https://moe.gov.sg/schoolfinder). Students and parents are encouraged to take the time to explore the schools’ websites, social media pages, as well as take part in their open houses (https://www.schoolbag.edu.sg/story/open-house-for-secondary-schools-2024) to find out more about the schools that interest them before selecting the schools.

Release of S1 Posting Results

11          The S1 Posting Results will be released between Wednesday, 18 December 2024 and Friday, 20 December 2024. The posting results can be accessed through any of the following channels:

• Short Message Service via a local mobile number (if provided by the applicant during the application process)

• S1-IS (https://www.moe.gov.sg/s1-posting) using the student’s Birth Certificate number / FIN, and the S1 PIN

• At the student’s primary school

12          Students do not need to report to their posted secondary schools upon receiving their S1 Posting Results. Students should refer to their posted schools’ websites for more information such as the reporting details, booklist, and purchase of books and uniforms. Parents of the incoming S1 cohort who are on Parents Gateway will also receive instructions from their posted schools from the afternoon the S1 Posting Results are released.

13          If students are unable to report to their posted secondary school on the first day of school in January 2025 due to valid reasons, they should inform their posted secondary school directly after receiving their posting results to confirm that they are taking up the place, and the school will reserve the place for them. More information on S1 Posting and S1-IS are available at MOE’s S1 Posting website. For enquiries, please visit https://www.moe.gov.sg/contact.
