Primary One admission planning guides
Choose the guide that matches the next decision: admission route, dates, submission, interview, result or starting school.
September POA applications
Two steps before Discretionary Places submission
Seven checks before September submission
Separate electronic and paper dates, then check one school, address and points evidence, and confirmation.
Choosing the one Discretionary Places school
Compare school-specific points, travel and the child’s needs without turning a score into an admission probability.
School choice and route
Build a feasible shortlist first
Government, aided, DSS or private?
Compare POA, direct applications, school nets, fees and accepting a DSS place.
Do the four routes involve interviews?
Separate Discretionary Places, Central Allocation, DSS/private direct applications and post-allocation procedures.
Seven checks before accepting an offer
Keep offered and accepted separate, then verify POA, registration, fees, travel and family commitment.
Rankings and secondary pathways
Separate the Top 100, official secondary relationships and school-published destinations instead of treating any one field as banding or admission probability.
How to read teacher data
Separate staff count, training, degrees and experience without turning official structural data into a teaching-quality ranking.
Applications and dates
Manage every public and private milestone
Application date checklist
Manage shortlist, opening, submission, interview and registration step by step.

Understand open, announced, partial information, closed and not published.

Visits, interviews and evidence
Prepare questions, abilities and truthful material
Ten open-day questions
Use one question set and local checklist for classrooms, homework, support, travel and communication.
Eight-week interview plan
Short sessions for listening, natural expression, reasoning, group interaction and final checks.
Parent interview preparation
Build a family fact bank and answer with a direct point, real example and partnership step.
Portfolio checklist

Handle needs after admission
Government and aided schools
Primary One Allocation guides
The seven-guide POA centre separates Discretionary Places, points, Parts A and B, ePOA, results, registration and post-allocation applications from private and DSS direct admission.
Open the POA guide centre →School-specific application plans
These guides publish only when the official 2027/28 process has enough detail. Every guide links back to the current school status and official source.

Editorial boundary
Guides turn public information into family workflows. They do not publish confidential questions, predict admission or turn one school's rule into a universal rule. Return to the applicable official source before submitting, attending, registering or transferring.
