Classes
The school has four classes each for the P4, P5 and P6 GEP. The approximate number of pupils for each GEP class is 25 pupils. However, it may vary according to enrolment and suspension rates, as well as the number of pupils opting out or being expelled from the GEP.
It also has a varying number of mainstream classes, all of which have appoximately 40 pupils. Again, it may vary according to how many pupils there are who transferred into/out of the school, went into the GEP in other schools, or are suspended or expelled.
The school has joined the Gifted Education Programme. It was the fourth primary school to have this programme in 1990.

Famous quotes containing the word classes:
“Intellectuals can tell themselves anything, sell themselves any bill of goods, which is why they were so often patsies for the ruling classes in nineteenth-century France and England, or twentieth-century Russia and America.”
—Lillian Hellman (1907–1984)
“Is a man too strong and fierce for society, and by temper and position a bad citizen,—a morose ruffian, with a dash of the pirate in him;Mnature sends him a troop of pretty sons and daughters, who are getting along in the dame’s classes at the village school, and love and fear for them smooths his grim scowl to courtesy. Thus she contrives to intenerate the granite and the feldspar, takes the boar out and puts the lamb in, and keeps her balance true.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Genocide begins, however improbably, in the conviction that classes of biological distinction indisputably sanction social and political discrimination.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
