What Parents Should Know in 2025
Tucked inside Tampines Ave 9, Tampines North Primary School has spent three decades shaping “Confident Learners, Critical Thinkers, Rooted in Values.”
Location & Accessibility
Campus: 30 Tampines Ave 9, S-529565
Transport: ≈ 8-minute walk to Tampines East MRT (DT33) plus buses 29, 293, 18 along Ave 9.
Neighbourhood vibe: Bordered by parks and HDB blocks, so traffic is calmer than around the regional centre.
School Culture, Vision & Values
TNPS emphasises five core values—Integrity, Care, Respect, Resilience, Responsibility—woven into lessons, leadership roles and daily routines.
Parents often praise the “friendly-teacher, strong-class-spirit” atmosphere on community forums.

CCA Landscape & Achievements
MOE’s school-finder lists a broad CCA menu:
Sports: Basketball, Badminton, Floorball, Football (Boys), Wushu
Performing Arts: Angklung/Kulintang Ensemble, Show Choir, Indian/Malay/International Dance
Uniformed Groups: Scouts, Brownies
Clubs & Societies: Infocomm (Media Production), Art & Crafts
Ethnic arts groups regularly feature in Singapore Youth Festival presentations, giving children stage confidence without the cut-throat audition stress typical of bigger schools.
Academic Profile & Demand
TNPS is mainstream-rigorous rather than “top-10 PSLE.” Its balanced approach appeals to families who want solid fundamentals without extreme pressure.
Campus Facilities & Green Identity
Recent upgrades added an indoor sports hall, eco plots and rooftop solar panels that support the G4Life curriculum. Students see sustainability in action—an attractive point if you want real-world learning, not just classroom talk.
Things to Weigh Before You Apply
1. Programme fit
ALP focuses on languages & digital media, not STEM-coding. Great for budding storytellers; less so if you want heavy robotics.
2. School identity
Secular, co-ed government school—no SAP Chinese immersion or mission ethos.
3. Academic expectations
Balanced rigour suits children who thrive with moderate pressure. If you seek an elite PSLE track record, you might prefer a “brand-name” primary.
