School connections
How this school links to the wider system, secondary and preschool, each of which can shape the P1 and later journey.
Chongfu School has no MOE-affiliated secondary school, so a P1 place here gives no affiliation priority into any particular secondary. Secondary posting follows the normal PSLE and Secondary 1 Posting Exercise. A shared name with a nearby secondary does not by itself mean an affiliation.
Always confirm the latest with the school before relying on it.
Settling in
The practical things once a place is confirmed: orientation, getting to school, and care after school. These vary by school, so confirm the specifics with Chongfu School.

Common questions
Is Chongfu a SAP school? +
No. Chongfu is a government-aided co-educational school, not a Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school, though it has a strong heritage in Chinese language and culture and a bilingual, bicultural mission.
Is Chongfu affiliated to a secondary school? +
No. Chongfu has no affiliated secondary school, so a place here gives no advantage in the later Secondary 1 posting.
How hard is it to get into Chongfu at P1? +
It is competitive. In 2025 Chongfu balloted in all three open phases, with 138 applicants for 40 places in Phase 2C, so a place is not guaranteed. Living within 1km and holding an earlier-phase priority both help. Check the live numbers for your year on MOE's balloting checker.
Does Chongfu have an affiliated secondary school? +
No. MOE does not list an affiliated secondary school for Chongfu School, so a P1 place here gives no affiliation priority into any secondary. Secondary posting follows the normal PSLE and Secondary 1 Posting Exercise.
