How Scoring Works

  • Ready (25–30 points): Your child shows strong readiness across all developmental areas and is well-prepared for Grade 1.
  • Almost Ready (18–24 points): Your child is developing well and is close to being school-ready. A few areas could benefit from focused practice.
  • Give It Time (10–17 points): Your child is still developing key readiness skills — perfectly normal. Our Pre-Primary programmes are designed to build these foundations.

Why School Readiness Matters

School readiness is not just about knowing the alphabet or counting. It encompasses social skills, emotional regulation, physical coordination, and the ability to function independently in a classroom setting. Research shows that children who are developmentally ready for school are more likely to succeed academically and socially in the long term.
