DSS Primary School Fees Budget Guide: Check Class-Level Amounts and Fee Remission
Preparing for Primary One? Compare DSS school fee records and fee-remission details, then check the amount for your child’s grade and family budget.
Parent starting point
Start with the key facts, then plan for your child
DSS primary data lists published fees for stated school years and class levels, with some schools showing different amounts by grade. Check fees, other costs and remission information separately, without using price as a school-quality signal.

Verify the published amount for your child’s grade
A DSS primary school can list different fees by class level. Do not copy one figure beside a school name; record the data period, applicable grade and official display value. Before accepting a place, check the school website again for payment dates, instalment arrangements and any updated amount.
Budget fees and other family costs separately
The government fee table does not represent uniforms, meals, transport, devices, activities or study tours. Build basic, higher-cost and contingency scenarios, and ask which charges are required, optional or eligible for support. Do not assume a cost that is absent from the published table.
Open each school’s fee-remission information
This site preserves the fee-remission link for every listed DSS primary school so parents can return to the school publication. The statistics cannot decide whether your family qualifies or predict approval. Verify income treatment, documents, timing and enquiries under the school’s latest terms.
Use this with your child
Your parent action checklist
- Record the official displayed fee and period for your child’s entry grade.
- Ask the school for required, optional and one-off charge information.
- Open the school’s fee-remission page and verify the latest eligibility and procedure.
- Build family scenarios for no remission, partial remission and approved remission.

What this cannot tell you
It cannot represent future fees, other school costs, remission eligibility, approval outcomes or school quality.
Questions parents often ask
Does the displayed median represent a typical school?
No. It is calculated across published class or class-band records and is not an average for each school.
Can the statistics determine fee-remission eligibility?
No. Open the school’s remission page and verify its latest eligibility, documents and procedure.
Does the published fee include every school cost?
No. The table does not fully cover uniforms, meals, transport, devices or activities. Ask the school directly.
