      I enrolled my kids in west spring in pri 1 back in 2016, withdrew them fr the school shortly after 6 mths and trsf them to bpps instead. Didn’t like west spring right at the beginning. The first principal which was a lady i feel was very controlling and overprotective of the teachers. Cannot do this n that and many rules that does not make sense. And the indian discipline mistress was shouting over the microphone at the students during assembly. My kids hardly made any frens there nor talk anything abt the school there in the 6 mths. Transferring them to bpps was the best decision made. my kids made frens quickly and the teachers were nice n took good care of my kids. I too was taken in by the good reviews (prob the oversupportive psg??) of west spring, luckily i managed to get my kids out in time. Both of them did very well for psle in bpps and are in IP schools now.

        Please by all means apply to Greenridge Primary. It is an amazing school. :rahrah:

        I am a little taken aback and frankly disappointed with WSP.

        When the results for the P4 mathematics paper were given back, the paper was set so tough. there were literally classes of failures. I looked through the paper and shocked to see it set at that level. it was just too difficult. many parents were upset. the p5 english paper had a few errors as well. these are exam papers. it should not be like that. in the other schools, the p6 kids r getting ready for psle. i don't know if those kids r ready or not.

        i feel like something is off about this school. understand that holistic education is important. being a well-rounded person is important. but that does not mean that academics take a back seat.

        there is an arrogance to this sch that i cannot stand. it's one thing to think u r good, it's another thing to actually be good. my suggestion is to consider other schools. not just for the academic but they are doing things for the kids, not for the school image.

          Your child is entering P1 in 2024? Now is August. Still got time to request other schools to put you on the waitlist.
