School overview

RGPS traces its roots to girls’ education begun within Raffles Institution in 1844. MOE’s history records the Raffles Girls’ School name in 1879 and a Queen Street campus from 1928. In 1959, the secondary section moved to Anderson Road and RGPS became a full primary school in its own right. It moved to Holland Grove in 1979 and Hillcrest Road in 1999, then completed upgrading and became single-session in 2016. These historical links should be distinguished from today’s admission arrangements; a shared name is not itself evidence of a guaranteed secondary-school route.

The six-year ALP oracy programme includes P1–P2 digital puppetry using Moo-O, P4–P5 news-production work and P5–P6 impromptu speech. For the latter, the school describes pupils speaking in groups, giving feedback and presenting to the class. Speech competitions and national PESA participation are separate opportunities for selected winners. The July 2026 page still includes a dated account of altered competition arrangements in 2020, which should not be treated as the present format. Families can ask how speaking progress is assessed and how quieter pupils are supported.
