Quick answer

Current list and evidence

This directory has 21 operating or renamed schools across 12 listed districts. 17 have 2027/28 status evidence and 11 have an upcoming confirmed deadline. All 21 schools have fee data in the official 2025 Primary School Profiles, but a new-cycle fee still requires a formal school update.

Direct application, not the government allocation list

Opening and deadline data come from each school’s official admission source. Fees come from dated official profiles, Education Bureau fee certificates or school fee pages. The two datasets are not inferred from each other, and old-cycle fees are not relabelled as 2027/28.

POA consequence

Accepting a DSS place affects government allocation

Current Education Bureau guidance states that after parents accept a DSS Primary One place, the child will not be allocated a government or aided place through POA; an already allocated place will be cancelled. Put DSS offer and registration deadlines on the same decision timeline as POA.

Frequently asked questions

Do DSS primary schools participate in Central Allocation?

No. The 21 schools in this directory use direct applications. Before accepting a DSS P1 place, read the Education Bureau consequence for POA and the school registration notice.

Are all 21 fee references for 2027/28?

No. They currently use the official 2025 Primary School Profiles and are not relabelled as 2027/28 fees.

Does a research-index position represent an admission chance?

No. The index compares public structural signals in official profiles. Application dates, admission procedures and fees are displayed separately from official sources.

Source and editorial boundary

School categories and the roster follow the verified 68-school data contract. Admission dates update only from official school sources, fees retain their official reference cycle, and the research index remains non-official. Advertising, partnerships and index position cannot change status, deadlines or directory order.
