Cantonment Primary School Review — P1 Guide & 2026 Updates

About Cantonment Primary School

Cantonment Primary School is a co-ed primary school in Singapore, in the South zone.

It offers 12 CCAs.

School overview

Cantonment Primary started in January 2011 with five Primary 1 classes and one class each from Primary 2 to 4; its official opening followed in July 2013. The school’s history distinguishes it from the earlier Cantonment School, established in 1954 and later merged into Keppel Primary. Its location near Chinatown and the civic district provides access to heritage sites, but does not make the current school a continuation of that earlier institution.

The current ALP is presented as SPARK, with “Think, Adapt, Apply” integrated lessons at every level. Its four areas cover creative expression, environment and sustainability, Singapore and contemporary issues, and design, making, coding and numbers. Examples include urban farming, debate, prototyping and adjusting experiments. Special-interest groups provide further opportunities, and an annual Celebration of Thinking invites parents to see children’s work. This is more specific than the older history page’s “Thinking Curriculum” label.
