Subject-Based Banding
(SBB)
18
Standard vs. Foundation Subject
Foundation subjects put focus on mastery of
core content and skills.
These are pitched at a lower level as
compared to the corresponding standard
subject.
19
Rationale and Intent
Providing our weaker Students a differentiated curriculum that would best maximize their potential.
These Students may have particular strengths, and we should develop them as much as possible by offering them specific subjects at a higher (standard) level of study.
20
Guidelines for Subject Combinations
Pass 3 or more subjects at P4 offer 4 subjects at the standard level at P5
Pass 2 or less subjects at P4 may offer foundation subjects

Higher Mother Tongue Languages
(HMT) at P5
Extra 1 hr/week taught outside curriculum
time.
Students will sit for both MTL & HMTL
papers.
School will recommend Students who are able
to cope with HMTL at the end of the year.
25
Higher Mother Tongue Languages (HMT)
at P5
Option to take HMTL at P5 is given only once at
the end-of-year at P4
Subsequent movement at end of P5 for P6 will be
based solely on your child’s performance and the
school’s decision.
Results for HMT will NOT be used for calculation
of the PSLE aggregate score.
ONLY the MT grades (i.e. CL/ML/TL) will be used
for the calculation of the PSLE aggregate score.
26
HMT
Even if Students did not talk HMT at Pri Schools, they
can still opt to offer HMT at Sec schools if they are in
the
Top 10% of the PSLE cohort; or
Top 11%—30% of the PSLE cohort and meet the
language criteria i.e. an A* grade in the MTL or at
least a Merit in HMTL.
27
28
1. Consider your child’s interest and ability
• Is the child performing very well in the language?
• Does your child enjoy the language?
• How is the child’s performance in other subjects?
• Time management (weekly additional lessons in the
afternoon, other remedial/enrichment/ supplementary
lessons for other subjects, CCAs)
MT or HMT?
29
2. Demands of HMT
- Emphasis on strong language competency
- Course expectations are raised substantially as
compared to P4
3.Secondary School Option - Do you intend to let your child apply to a SAP
schools after PSLE?
MT or HMT?
Bonus points for taking HMT
ONLY applicable if your child is in the Top 30%
of the PSLE cohort and is going to a SAP
secondary school.
Distinction – 3 points
Merit – 2 points
Pass – 1 point

Subject combination that matches your child’s
capability,
NOT
What your other children were capable of
What you want of your child
Where your child’s friends are
Tips for exercising your option
How Subject-Based Banding Works?
P4 Overall examination results i.e. SA1 (30%) + SA2 (70%)
Based on the Student’s P4 Overall examination results, the school recommends a subject combination to parents / guardians
33
Higher Mother Tongue Languages
(HMT) at P5
Students who opt-in for HMTL e.g. Higher Chinese
Language (HCL) will be placed in the original class
allocated to them based on their performance in all 4
subjects.
They will be pulled- out from various class to form
a HCL class during HCL lesson. (see next slide for
illustration)

The 85th to the rest of the students will similarly be allocated by
overall results of 4 subjects
How does Subject-based Banding work?
• 2 standard subjects +
2 other foundation subjects; or
• 1 standard subject +
3 other foundation subjects; or
• 4 foundation subjects
