St. Anthony's Primary School Review — P1 Guide & 2026 Updates

About St. Anthony's Primary School

St. Anthony's Primary School is a co-ed primary school in Singapore, in the West zone.

It offers 16 CCAs.

School overview

St Anthony’s Primary began as St Anna’s School in a rented Middle Road house on 1 August 1879, offering free education to poor children. The boys’ school came under the De La Salle Christian Brothers in 1939. By 1961, its secondary classes had transferred to St Joseph’s Institution, leaving a primary school. The move to Bukit Batok in May 1992 brought both a new name and co-education. A temporary Jurong East move in 2013 allowed redevelopment; the school returned to Bukit Batok and became single-session in 2015. Old forum references to a Jurong campus concern that temporary move.

The Applied Learning Programme spans Primary 1 to 6. P1 pupils use colour codes with Ozobots; P2 adds visual programming and Quarky puzzles. P3 and P4 use micro:bits to build prototypes around issues such as biodiversity, while P5 creates interactive digital content in CoSpaces. P6 post-PSLE activities include Sphero programming and an introduction to making AI systems more reliable. The programme uses Feel, Imagine, Do, Share to connect design with people’s needs. These are published learning activities, not evidence that every pupil reaches an advanced coding standard.
