Cedar Primary School Review — P1 Guide & 2026 Updates

About Cedar Primary School

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

It offers 15 CCAs.

School overview

Cedar’s primary-school roots go back to Cedar Girls’ and Cedar Boys’ schools, opened in 1957 for more than 2,500 children. They joined in January 1985 as the co-educational Cedar Primary. The school moved into its current Cedar Avenue premises in 2006 after PRIME upgrading. An indoor sports hall and annex were added in 2018, followed by the 2019 merger with MacPherson Primary, retaining the Cedar name and site. Older accounts may describe either predecessor or the school before that second merger.

The Creative and Inventive Thinking ALP runs through all six primary years. In the first semester, younger pupils examine a given scenario while Primary 3 to 6 identify school or community problems, using thinking tools to generate and assess ideas. The second semester emphasises tinkering and prototypes with LEGO, Strawbees, Makedo and recycled materials. Inventopia provides a makerspace, and Creativity Fest lets pupils share toys or community solutions. Future Innovators’ Programme is a separate CCA for invited pupils showing interest and aptitude, with advanced thinking and competition mentoring.
