School overview
MOE’s Heritage Centre traces ACS (Primary) to the ACS school begun by William Fitzjames Oldham with 13 boys on Amoy Street in 1886. The primary school later remained at Canning Rise when the secondary section moved to Cairnhill. It moved to Barker Road in 1994, initially as the primary section of ACS (Barker Road), and later became a separate school. These are linked histories, but ACS (Primary), ACS (Junior) and the ACS secondary schools are separate schools whose present programmes need to be read individually.
CNA’s report dated 9 February 2023 says the new Tengah site is planned to admit boys and girls from Primary 1 in 2030. Primary 1 cohorts admitted through 2029 are to remain at Barker Road until graduation. The report also describes different sibling arrangements at the two sites. A family therefore needs to confirm the campus for its own intake and siblings; the announced move does not mean every current pupil changes campus in 2030. The report is news coverage of a future plan.
