SSPA scores, banding and POA points — calculated in the browser

Free Hong Kong school-admissions calculators and guides covering the current 999632 weighting, the 88844222 weighting from Primary 5 of the 2026/27 school year, a banding estimator, and Primary One Discretionary Places points.

What this site is

This site covers Hong Kong government and aided school admissions: SSPA internal-assessment weights (999632 for the current Primary 6 cohort, and 88844222 from Primary 5 of 2026/27), a banding estimate, Primary One Discretionary Places points, and the timelines and process guides. Calculators add up the term marks or points items you type; the guides explain what that number means and which page to read next. Every rule is taken from Education Bureau publications, cited at the foot of each guide. Start with theSSPA timelineor thePrimary One timeline, then use theSSPA calculatorwhen you have term marks.

The pages are written and checked by, a Hong Kong parent who has been through the SSPA process and keeps the pages in step with the Bureau’s yearly publications. She is not an Education Bureau officer. The site does not offer paid admissions consulting. Every rule defers to the documents cited on the page.

Start with the timeline for your child’s year group. Primary 6 in 2026/27 is the 2025/2027 cycle, still scored 999632, with Secondary 1 entry in September 2027. Primary 5 that year is the first 88844222 cohort (2026/2028 cycle). Put the school’s actual term marks into the calculators. The two cohorts need different settings; do not mix the weights. Treat every output as an estimate: a band especially cannot be cut from public data. Guides show a last-reviewed date. If a date or weighting disagrees with the Bureau’s latest notice, follow the Bureau.
