Catholic High School cut-off points, 2023–2025
| Group | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| IP | 4(D) - 7(M) | 5(D) - 7(M) |
| PG3 | 6(D) - 8(M) Aff. 7 - 12 | 6(M) - 8(P) Aff. 7(P) - 12 |
Years are PSLE years: the 2025 cut-off is for 2026 Secondary 1 admission (often called the "2026 cut-off point"). Each cell is the PSLE score range of students admitted: the left number is the best score admitted, the right number is the last student admitted, which is what people call the cut-off.
PSLE 2026 cut-off estimate (2027 intake)
| Group | 2025 actual | 2026 estimate |
|---|---|---|
| IP | 7 | 6–7 |
| PG3 | 8 | 7–8 |
Why: most 2026 candidates were born in 2014, about 6% more births than 2013, much like 2024. That year IP and PG3 cut-offs mostly held or tightened by 1 point, while PG2 and PG1 moved within 1 point. Applying the same rule to 2023 figures to estimate 2024 (the last larger cohort), the actual cut-off fell inside the range for 91% of PG3 schools, 96% of PG2 schools, 92% of PG1 schools. This is an estimate, not a guarantee; MOE publishes the real figures in December. Estimates for every school →
Worth knowing
- (D)/(M)/(P) after a score is the Higher Chinese grade of the last student admitted: at the same score, the better Higher Chinese grade goes first.
- A government-aided Catholic school: Secondary 1 posting ignores religion and every student is admitted by score, citizenship and choice order. Expect assemblies with prayers and religious festivals; the curriculum follows MOE.
- "Aff." is the cut-off for students from affiliated primary schools, usually easier, and only for them.

Common questions
What is the Catholic High School cut-off point for 2025?
IP non-affiliated 4(D) - 7(M); PG3 non-affiliated 6(D) - 8(M), affiliated 7 - 12. The right number in each range is the PSLE score of the last student admitted; smaller is harder.
What AL score do you need for Catholic High School (CHS)?
On the 2025 cut-offs (2026 intake), the last non-affiliated PG3 student admitted had AL 8, and AL 7 for the Integrated Programme. A better (smaller) score usually gets in; exactly at the cut-off, citizenship and then choice order decide.
What will the Catholic High School cut-off point be for 2027 intake (PSLE 2026)?
Estimated from past patterns: IP 6–7 (2025: 7); PG3 7–8 (2025: 8). The 2026 cohort is larger, so IP and PG3 cut-offs will mostly hold or tighten by 1 point.
