Primary One Admission

In Hong Kong, the Primary One Admission (POA) System is administered by the Education Bureau to allocate Primary One places in government and aided primary schools. It consists of two stages: Discretionary Places Admission and Central Allocation. At the Discretionary Places stage, parents may apply directly to one government or aided school without being restricted by school net, and each school generally reserves about half of its Primary One places for this stage. The remaining places are allocated centrally, with 10% available for unrestricted school choices and 90% restricted to schools within the applicant’s residential school net. The table below summarises past years’ allocation figures, including Discretionary Places (DP), Central Allocation (CA), and total places.

Year Total DP CA
2019502533
2020502523
2021502530
2022502537
2023502534
2024502544
2025502543
2026502544

Note: The figures for Discretionary Places (DP) and provisional Central Allocation (CA) places are published by the Education Bureau, while the total number of Primary One places is estimated from these figures. Where the number of DP places is higher than the number of CA places, this generally indicates that all available places were filled during the Discretionary Places Admission stage, suggesting that applications exceeded the available places and that the school was relatively popular. Conversely, where the number of DP places is lower than the number of CA places, this generally indicates that some discretionary places remained unfilled and were transferred to Central Allocation, suggesting lower competition for admission.

School Fees

This is a government school operated and funded directly by the Education Bureau. Government schools account for approximately 6% of all primary schools in Hong Kong and provide free primary education. No school fee is charged. Among the other school types, around 78% are aided schools, 4% are DSS schools, and 12% are private schools. Only DSS and private schools generally charge school fees.

School Mission & Governance

We strive to provide a healthy and effective learning environment that balances the curriculum with the moral and ethical education of our students. This entails fostering self-discipline and social responsibility in our students as much as developing their academic performance. In doing this, we hope students can then grow into respectful and caring members of society who love themselves and are able to tell right from wrong. We also hope that our students will become independent, responsible and brave.

Year of Commencement of Operation: 1954
