Kam Tin Primary School was originally established as Kam Tin Secondary School in 1993 and converted into a primary school in 1997. Compared with the traditional famous schools full of cows, Kam Tin has a unique way to stand out, that is, football.
As a "National Youth Campus Football Characteristic School", "National Primary and Secondary School Campus Football Demonstration School", and the first "Health Promotion Gold Medal School" issued by the China/World Health Organization in Guangdong Province, Kam Tin Primary School's emphasis on football is comparable to the "main subject" such as language and mathematics. It has a tradition of carrying out campus football since its establishment, and the perfect field, equipment, and rich football lessons on campus have paved the way for the implementation of campus football. Li Weifeng, Wang Hongwei and other famous coaches have visited the school for guidance. The school has also creatively developed the school-based textbook "School Football Action" and arranged football courses into the curriculum. In the club course, there are also three gradient football interest classes in the low, medium and high gradients. In addition, Kam Tin Primary School students often participate in various football leagues, and also go out for training camps from time to time during winter and summer vacations. With such attention, Kam Tin Primary School won the championship of the first "Renjiao Cup" National Campus Football School Invitational Tournament, and 5 children were invited to participate in the friendly match of La Liga giants Atletico Madrid Junior. In its short history, the school has sent six players to the national junior team.
In addition, Kam Tin Primary School is also remarkable in terms of science and technology education. At the door of each class, there is a touch screen class card about 50 cm long, which records the wonderful moments of each child in the class. The function of the class card is not only the "memory" of life, but also the electronic dictionary for students to learn. In addition, on the basis of the syllabus, Kam Tin Primary School has also added "SCRATCH Fun Game Programming" and 3D printing to the school-based curriculum.
Normally, Kam Tin Primary School ends at 12 noon and 4 pm. Students generally have a lot of homework and it takes 3 hours to complete; Exams are also slightly frequent, and the study pressure is relatively high.
At present, Kam Tin Primary School has a total of 30 teaching classes and 81 teaching staff, including 59 senior professional titles and 1 special teacher. Among all the teachers, 4 have graduate degrees, 50 have undergraduates, and 23 have junior colleges. It is expected to enroll about 300 students in 6 classes every year. The school provides lunch for first-year students and also has a lunch class with 6 teachers to supervise them. Students in other grades who need to be hosted will need to find their own off-campus institutions. There are many housing communities in the surrounding school districts, but most of them are "old and dilapidated and small" built in the eighties and nineties, and the newer ones are Cardoorie Garden (75,000-84,000 yuan/m2), Kaisa Jincui Garden (81,000-93,000 yuan/m2), and Hezheng Star Garden (74,000-82,000 yuan/m2). The above price information is as of March 2018.
