School Analysis

Angsana Primary School

A Green-Minded, Future-Ready Neighbourhood Gem in Pasir Ris

Elias Park Primary School (EPPS) turned 30 this year. Founded on 3 January 1995 to serve the young Pasir Ris estate, it still operates from its original site at 11 Pasir Ris Street 52 and remains a single-session, co-ed government school.

1. Culture & Core Values

Angsana anchors daily life on the four R²+I values – Respect, Resilience, Responsibility and Integrity. Class discussions, VIA projects and weekly reflections weave these traits into lessons so pupils “serve because they care”.

2. Future-Ready Learning (ALP & LLP)

  • Applied Learning Programme – “Developing Problem-Solvers through Computational Thinking.”
    From P1, pupils tinker with coding robots, pattern-spotting games and eco-design challenges that cultivate logical thinking and imagination.

  • Learning for Life Programme – “Nurturing 21st-Century Leaders.”
    Using Leader-in-Me tools and outdoor team tasks, students progress from leading self to leading others, building confidence and empathy.

These dual tracks mean your child gets both hard tech skills and soft leadership habits.

3. Diverse CCAs & Arts Achievements

Angsana runs 15 CCAs spanning Sports (Football, Wushu, Badminton), Uniformed Groups (Scouts, Red Cross), and Arts (Choir, Modern Dance, Concert Band, Robotics & Media). The Concert Band clinched an “Accomplishment” at the 2024 SYF Arts Presentation, testament to serious coaching despite the school’s short history.

4. Convenient East-Side Location

The new campus at 51 Tampines St 61 sits about a 4-minute walk from Tampines West MRT (DT31) and is served by several trunk bus routes, making drop-offs and CCAs after school easier for working parents.

5. Healthy—but Not Cut-Throat—Demand

Angsana now attracts enough families to enter the Phase 2C ballot (even for Singaporeans within 1 km), yet it is far from the hyper-competitive intensity of traditional “brand-name” schools. Many parents see this as the sweet spot: recognised popularity without extreme PSLE pressure.

Things to Weigh Before You Apply

1. Academic Profile

ASPS focuses on progress for every child rather than chasing league-table positions. If you prize top-10 PSLE rankings, a SAP or GEP-heavy school might feel safer.

2. Young Alumni Network

As a 10-year-old school, it lacks the long alumni base & traditions older schools boast.

3. East-Side Commute

Families outside Pasir Ris/Tampines will face longer daily travel.

3. Co-ed Dynamics

Some parents prefer single-sex primary settings for temperament reasons; ASPS is co-educational.

For your Final Thoughts | Should You Choose Angsana Primary School?

Choose Angsana if you want:

  • A values-centred environment that rewards kindness as much as grades.

  • Hands-on STEM and leadership exposure from the early years.

  • A lively spread of CCAs where new talents can shine quickly.

  • MRT-level convenience in Singapore’s rapidly developing East.

Give it a pass if your priority is an “established elite” reputation or if a west-side commute is non-negotiable.
