School connections
How this school links to the wider system, secondary and preschool, each of which can shape the P1 and later journey.
New Town Primary School has no MOE-affiliated secondary school, so a P1 place here gives no affiliation priority into any particular secondary. Secondary posting follows the normal PSLE and Secondary 1 Posting Exercise. A shared name with a nearby secondary does not by itself mean an affiliation.
Always confirm the latest with the school before relying on it.
