Release of 2025 PSLE Results

25 NOV 2025

Students who sat for the 2025 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 2025 Primary 6 Cohort

Eligibility for Secondary School

2        A total of 37,926 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, students may choose to apply to Assumption Pathway School (APS) and NorthLight School (NLS) which offer customised programmes with a more experiential and hands-on learning approach. Those who have attempted the PSLE once can apply to these schools 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 take English Language, Mother Tongue Languages, Mathematics, and Science subjects 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. Students who scored AL 6 for a PSLE Standard subject or AL A for a PSLE Foundation subject can take the subject at G2. For the 2025 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.

 S1 Posting Exercise

6          The S1 Option Form regarding submission of secondary school choices will be given to all eligible students together with their PSLE results.

7          Parents can submit their S1 school choices and options through the online S1 Portal which is accessible through MOE’s S1 Posting website (www.moe.gov.sg/s1-posting), between 11.30am on 25 November 2025 and 4:30pm on 1 December 2025.

8        Parents will require a valid Singpass to log in to the S1 Portal. Only one parent is required to log in and submit the registration through the S1 Portal. Parents who require assistance with their online submission may contact the student’s primary school before 4:30pm on 1 December 2025.

9          Students and parents are encouraged to consider schools holistically when choosing a secondary school that would be a good fit for the student’s educational needs, strengths and interests. This includes the school’s distinctive programmes, subject offerings, Co-Curricular Activities, ethos, culture, location and support for Special Educational Needs, if required. Within their 6 school choices, students are encouraged to include at least 2 to 3 schools whose previous year’s Cut-Off Points (COPs) are less stringent than their PSLE score. Students and parents are reminded that previous year’s school COPs are for their reference only as they resulted from the previous year’s S1 Posting Exercise. COPs can vary up to a few points from year to year, depending on each cohort’s PSLE results and school choices. Including school choices with less stringent COPs may help increase students’ chances of securing a place in one of their chosen schools.

10       For a more holistic understanding of the offerings by the 141 secondary schools taking part in the 2025 S1 Posting Exercise, students and parents can visit SchoolFinder (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/), to find out more about the schools that best suit and interest them before submitting their school choices.

Release of S1 Posting Results

11        The S1 Posting Results will be released on either 18th December 2025 or 19th December 2025. The posting results can be accessed through any of the following channels:

  • S1 Portal (accessible through www.moe.gov.sg/s1-posting) using parents’ Singpass;

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

  • 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 2026 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 is available at MOE’s S1 Posting website. For enquiries, please visit https://www.moe.gov.sg/contact.
