Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Obtain the application form. Application forms can be obtained in person at the General Office on the 1/F or by downloading the form from the school's site. The form must include a recent photograph of the applicant. This step begins the formal admissions process and sets up the required documentation for review.
2. Prepare the application package. The package requires: a fully completed Application Form with a recent photo, copies of the applicant's academic reports for the previous two years (and the current year if available), a photocopy of the applicant's birth certificate, a photocopy of the first page of the applicant's passport (including the photo and passport number) and the page bearing the Hong Kong visa, and a photocopy of the applicant's Hong Kong I.D. card (if any). Gather these documents ahead of submission to avoid delays. This step ensures all required materials are ready for the selection process.
3. Selection test. The selection test is scheduled for early January 2026 and includes English language, Chinese language (for local pupils only), and Mathematics. Parents should be aware of the testing window and ensure the child is prepared for these subjects. Results from the test form a key part of the shortlisting process.
4. Interview (if needed). An interview may be conducted by the Headmistress if it is deemed necessary. The applicant must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to the interview. This step allows the school to assess fit beyond test scores.
5. Application deadlines. For 2025–2026 2nd term admission, the deadline is 12 December 2025. Families should plan to submit all materials well before this date to avoid last‑minute issues. The deadline is explicitly stated to guide timely submissions.
6. Notification of acceptance/denial. Parents/guardians will be notified by telephone within two weeks after the selection test. This communication period is specified to manage expectations about decisions. Applicants should monitor the contact number they provided for updates.
7. Admission enquiries. For any questions, contact the school by email at [email protected], by telephone at 2577 3489, or by fax at 2882 4520. The school provides direct channels for clarifications on the admissions process.
SEKPS does not publish a waitlist or pool system in its admissions materials. The published process centers on submitting the application and documents, taking a selection test (English, plus Chinese for local pupils, and Mathematics), possibly an interview, and then telephone notification of the outcome within about two weeks after the test.
SEKPS does not publish any primary-school scholarship program on its official admissions materials. The primary focus in published school information is on programs like The Good Kadoorian Scheme and other enrichment offerings, with no stated scholarship pathway for students at the primary level. If a family is seeking financial assistance, the school directs inquiries through its regular contact channels rather than through a scholarship application.
The school was founded in 1891 by Ellis Kadoorie as the Ellis Kadoorie School for Indians. The Primary School has occupied the original premises since the secondary section moved to West Kowloon in 1999. The campus serves Primary 1–6 in a whole-day English-medium program.
