St. James' Church Kindergarten (Gilstead Campus) - 25 Gilstead Rd

Sincere, caring and knowledgeable teachers, spacious and beautiful compound for children to explore, a friendly and happy environment for families

This school is horrible. The school admin is getting from bad to worst. Not too sure how they can communicate so badly when they have such a large team of admin. Been to other smaller setups that has only 1 admin and the communication is prompt. Teacher keeps changing and there's no continuity. In the pretext of helping kids to be independent, the oversight is also lacking. When accidents happens, it's always rhetorical answers. "I'm sorry... I have already communicated to my team and will ensure..." but the toilets remained to be wet and smelly. Safety is often overlooked. Just ask your kids or anyone you know in the school. Kids only have 1 life each. How many times of "sorry" can you say? A school to avoid.

My child really loves his school, teachers & friends. Good & caring environment and teachers, my child has blossomed so much and is always happy whenever returning from school. Gilstead campus is also spacious & beautiful. Choosing SJCK has been one of the best decisions for our family.

Standards have dropped greatly since my kids joined when it opened in 2016/17. My kids came home with lots of artwork and photos at the end of term/year. This year was quite bad. In October/ november, my son said that they were just playing the whole time, no lessons. There was no graduation ceremony due to Covid. Normally in term4, they spend the term/ months preparing for the graduation ceremony. But now without that, they have lots of time on hand. They could have done video performance in place of the graduation performance. But there was not! They did a short video ‘presentation’ which was horrible. The kids do not know what to do. You could see that they were not taught or did not practice to put up this ‘presentation’ wic was just less than 5mins. The video consist mostly of interviews with the kids rather than kids performing. Graduation is an important milestone for the child. Why din sjck put up a proper video performance like the other schools???? My son even told me that his teacher was just sitting there, using her handphone
