Tanjong Katong Primary School Review — P1 Guide & 2026 Updates

About Tanjong Katong Primary School

Tanjong Katong Primary School is a co-ed primary school in Singapore, in the East zone.

It offers 10 CCAs.

School overview

Tanjong Katong Primary formed in 2001 from Fowlie Primary, Haig Boys’ and Mountbatten Primary; Fowlie had previously merged with Seraya School. MOE records an initial enrolment of 1,700 and a 2004 opening ceremony staged as a musical at Victoria Theatre. The school returned to Seraya Road in 2020 after PERI upgrading. Its early reputation for an international mix also has a dated basis: in 2007, about 400 of 1,700 pupils came from over 30 countries. That historical figure is not the current nationality profile, even though the school still describes a diverse community.

The D.R.I.VE. Applied Learning Programme began in 2021 and uses Design Thinking across P1–P6. Its first tier introduces all pupils to the process through project work and VIA; the second applies it through level programmes, including P3–P5 science innovation, P4 maths games and a P6 English/ICT project. A third tier is for selected pupils holding leadership roles, working with external organisations. An annual Innovation Fair showcases prototypes and other work. These tiers matter: common opportunities to learn and view projects are different from selected leadership partnerships or having a prototype adopted by the school.
