IB Primary Years Programme
ESF has a framework, ESF Levels of Adjustment (LOA), for identifying and documenting the adjustments and accommodations for students who require support for learning.
We use LOA 1 to 6 to describe the amount and type of support a student requires in order to access the curriculum. All ESF schools have at least LOA 2 support.
ESF has a Financial Assistance Scheme for families who experience financial hardship due to a sudden and unexpected change in circumstances. Financial assistance is not normally granted in the first year of admission. Information and application forms for the scheme are available from the ESF Centre.
Overseas passport holders will receive priority over local passport holders. ESF also offers priority to the children of parents holding the "Top Talent pass" for employment in HKSAR, please refer to the Admission Priority stated below.
Interview and Assessment
Priority for an interview or assessment will be based on the following ranked criteria:
* Staff are given priority according to employment terms for ESF or the Private Independent Schools.
# National-level athletes and athletes sponsored by the Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI) as an elite athlete.
In line with the Hong Kong Education Bureau (EDB) requirements:
‧ ESF’s 9 primary and 5 secondary schools and Jockey Club Sarah Roe School shall admit students to school in accordance with the prevailing admission policy, including the overarching requirements to admit non-local students (those having overseas passports, excluding HKSAR and BNO) to no less than 70% of the overall student population of all schools operated by ESF. Overseas passport holders will receive priority over local passport holders.\
‧ ESF Discovery College and ESF Renaissance College shall admit students to school in accordance with the prevailing admission policy, including the overarching requirement to admit students holding Hong Kong Permanent Resident status to no less than 70% of the overall student population of the college.
At ESF Sha Tin Junior School, we help every student be the best that they can be, working hard to understand their individual skills, passions and dreams, and helping them develop their unique personality. At our school, children are kind, happy, engaged and are always learning. We follow the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), which is based on learning through playful inquiry. Our curriculum makes for a seamless transition to the IB’s Diploma Programmes, offered at all ESF secondary schools.
We appreciate the voice of each member of our community, especially parents, because nobody knows your child better than you. We will keep you informed and involved through a wide range of PTA-organised activities and other opportunities to volunteer and socialise. In our safe and happy community, students develop a lifelong passion for learning and a confident ‘can-do’ attitude which helps them achieve their dreams.
