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:
“Journalists belong in the gutter because that is where the ruling classes throw their guilty secrets.”
—Gerald Priestland (b. 1927)
“What’s the greatest enemy of Christianity to-day? Frozen meat. In the past only members of the upper classes were thoroughly sceptical, despairing, negative. Why? Among other reasons, because they were the only people who could afford to eat too much meat. Now there’s cheap Canterbury lamb and Argentine chilled beef. Even the poor can afford to poison themselves into complete scepticism and despair.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
