HK School Picker

HK's admission system isn't one-size-fits-all: Primary One depends on address, Secondary on your primary school, transfers follow no set rules. Here we first clarify the rules, then lay out official data and parent discussions for all schools—free to search, no registration.

Choosing schools without knowing the rules is like betting without knowing the scoring. These three paths are the most common. Each explains: what to do when, and which step is irreversible.

Aided/Government · Primary

Primary One Admission

All government and aided primary schools admit in two rounds: in the first round you pick one school to try for, in the second the EDB allocates by where you live.

1 monthsCentral Allocation
6 monthsknocking on the door (direct approach for a vacancy)

Easiest to get wrong　Primary One looks at your address, secondary school looks at your primary school — the two mechanisms run in opposite directions, and this is the most common pitfall for parents. Choosing which district to live in now and which secondary school you'll be allocated six years later are two different things.。 See full process and official figures → Aided/Government · Secondary

Promote to Secondary 1

From the second term of Primary 5, you take three 'internal assessments for secondary school places allocation'; results determine your allocation band. Then one round you choose, one round the EDB allocates by the secondary school net of your primary school.

Central AllocationPart A・Part B

Easiest to get wrong　Part B follows your "primary school", not your address. That means the moment you choose a primary school, you've also chosen the arena for secondary school allocation six years later — moving house won't change that.。 See full process and official figures → All school levels

Transfer admission

Transfer admission has no unified mechanism. Each school decides when to release places, how many, and how to assess—so the core is 'which school has a vacancy now'.

Easiest to get wrong　"Not found" doesn't mean "no vacancies", nor does it mean "closed". The windows in our database have four statuses: Open, Upcoming, Unknown, Closed — Unknown means unknown, we don't pretend to know. If you see "Unknown", call the school directly.。 See full process and official figures →

Other five routes: DSS/private primary/secondary, kindergarten K1, kindergarten transfer, secondary transfer →
