Shanghai Private Yangpu Primary School - Institutional Review

Yangpu Primary School was established in 2006, and although it has not been established for a long time, its strength cannot be underestimated.

The school is located on Hejian Road, Yangpu District, with lush trees and buildings based on red frames on a white background, making it a garden-style European-style campus. Yangpu Primary School covers a total area of about 13,500 square meters, with wind and rain playgrounds, nature laboratories, art rooms, labor technology rooms, music rooms, dance studios and multi-purpose halls, etc., with complete infrastructure. By 2016, the school had a total of 82 faculty members. Among the 79 full-time teachers, 78 have a bachelor's degree or above, 7 are senior middle school teachers, and 34 are primary school senior teachers.

Yangpu Primary School only recruits first-choice students, and its 2017 interview questions are: self-introduction; Use the iPad to do questions, including looking at graphics to find patterns, listening to music to answer questions, listening to descriptions to answer questions, etc.; Build the bricks according to the drawings; Teamwork, a group of 6 children use a straw to build a figure; Listen to instructions and make movements; Listen to music to judge the country; Indicate a map of the respective country; Draw snowmen, play basketball, etc.

It is worth mentioning that during the interview for kindergarten to primary school in Yangpu Primary School in 2017, the school became a hot topic because parents also needed to complete questionnaires and thinking questions. Not only is it difficult for parents to ask questions, but it has also sparked a discussion in the society about the situation of "children pass the exams, but parents don't". Although the school later clarified that the parents' test questions had nothing to do with whether or not to admit the child, and the school was punished by the Yangpu District Education Bureau, it is self-evident that Yangpu Primary School is difficult to enter.

Yangpu Primary School's Olympiad results are very outstanding, and they are even stronger than private schools in the district. According to the statistics of a third-party education information agency, the number of winners in the four major cups in 2016 accounted for 23.8% of the whole school, ranking ninth among the city's primary schools. And it has won more first and second prizes than some of the top eight schools. According to the parents, some of the top students in Yangpu Primary School can enter Lansheng, Cunzhi and other junior high schools after graduation, most of the top 50% enter the Kongjiang private school, and the rest are mainly Liaoyang Middle School.

In terms of the use of teaching materials, the Chinese teaching materials of Yangpu Primary School are consistent with the requirements of the Education Commission; English uses New Century and Longman textbooks, which are slightly more difficult; In addition to the textbooks prescribed by the Education Commission, mathematics is supplemented with an Olympiad textbook, and teachers will expand the topics of Olympiad mathematics in their usual teaching.

Yangpu Primary School adopts a small class teaching mode, with about 33 students per class. And in order for students to learn more in a limited time, the school adopts different teaching plans for different grades. In the first grade, six teachers are arranged to teach in the classroom, so that students can get familiar with the teachers as soon as possible. Grades 2 to 5 are divided into two groups, a group for grades 2 and 3, and a group for grades 4 and 5. A long course lasts 12 weeks, with a medium course of 6 weeks and a short course of 4 weeks. Medium and short courses come in a combination format, with two or three courses in different categories packaged into a combination for students to choose from. Students are free to walk in class, and each time they complete a course activity, they can receive corresponding credits and evaluations.

Compared with other primary schools, Yangpu Primary School has a fast teaching progress, and it is necessary to lay a good foundation for Olympiad mathematics before entering the school. However, the amount of homework is not large, and many students can complete it in school. School exams do not publish rankings, only the number of students in the score range, and students can estimate their rankings based on their own results. If students want to enter Lansheng Fudan, many parents recommend that it is best to attend Olympiad and English tutoring classes outside of school.
