How the marks add up

How the scores are calculated in the discretionary round of Primary One admission, for which half of a school's places are set aside.

Children get points for one of the following five factors:

Either parent works full time at the school, or its affiliated kindergarten or secondary section (20 points)

Elder sibling is at the school or affiliated sections (20 points)

Parent is a registered manager of the primary school (20 points)

Parent or sibling is a graduate of the primary school (10 points)
