Red Swastika School is a co-educational government-aided primary school in Bedok North, and one of Singapore's Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools, so Chinese language and culture sit at the heart of daily school life. Its identity blends this bicultural focus with hands-on STEM learning through the Tinkers to Thinkers programme.

What Red Swastika is known for

A Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school. Red Swastika was accorded SAP status in 1990, one of a small group of schools that nurture pupils who are effectively bilingual and bicultural in English and Chinese. Everyday school life carries a strong emphasis on Chinese language, values and culture, including overseas immersion opportunities.

Character education through the Three Littles. The school frames pupil growth around being a Little Friend, a Little Master and a Little Teacher, alongside core values of graciousness, magnanimity, trustworthiness and diligence.

Hands-on STEM. Its Applied Learning Programme is STEM Transportation, delivered through the Tinkers to Thinkers programme, which builds problem-solving through making and coding.

A SAP school, not a gifted-education centre. Red Swastika is not one of the primary schools that run the Gifted Education Programme, so families drawn to it should look to its bicultural and character focus rather than a high-ability stream.

Is it a fit for your family? What to weigh

Especially if you have no older child here to go on, these are the things worth checking before you put the school down.
Daily travel and distance
At 350 Bedok North Avenue 3 (Bedok). Living within 1km both shortens the daily commute and, if a phase goes to a ballot, puts you in the top priority tier, so check your home-to-school distance on MOE's locator before you commit.
A head start into secondary school
None. Red Swastika has no affiliated secondary school, so a place here gives no advantage in the later Secondary 1 posting.
Teaching identity
Co-educational, government-aided, SAP.
High-ability learners
Not a GEP centre. High-ability children are identified through MOE's separate national screening, which is open to pupils at any school.

Phases
  • 1 — a sibling already in the school
  • 2A — parent/sibling is an ex-pupil, or parent is staff
  • 2B — volunteer, church/clan, or community leader
  • 2C — open to all, no prior link
  • 2C(S) / 3 — supplementary / non-citizen
Distance groups (ballot priority order)
  • 1. SC<1 — Singapore Citizen within 1km
  • 2. SC 1-2 — within 1 to 2km
  • 3. SC>2 — beyond 2km
  • 4. PR<1 — Permanent Resident within 1km
  • 5. PR 1-2 — within 1 to 2km
  • 6. PR>2 — beyond 2km

Each cell: the big number is places taken; below it, applicants / vacancies. A red cell went to a ballot, with the group and its ratio, e.g. SC 1-2 (6/5).

Red Swastika is consistently in demand. In the 2025 Primary 1 Registration Exercise, Phase 2C drew 93 applicants for 41 vacancies and went to ballot, so a home address near the school and active parent or alumni ties matter. Our Primary 1 registration guide explains how the phases and balloting work.

Balloting outcomes shift year to year with the number of applicants and vacancies, so treat any single figure as a snapshot rather than a promise. Our guide to choosing a primary school walks through how to weigh distance, programmes and school fit alongside these odds.

How a P1 place is decided
Places are offered phase by phase, in this order. Only the phases still open when you register apply to you:
Phase 1 — a sibling is already studying in the school
Phase 2A — a parent or sibling is a former pupil, or a parent is staff or a School Advisory/Management Committee member
Phase 2B — a parent is a school volunteer, an active member of a church or clan connected to the school, or a community leader
Phase 2C — open to everyone; the main phase for families with no prior link
Phase 2C Supplementary & Phase 3 — any places still left, and non-citizen applicants
When a phase has more applicants than places, priority (and the ballot, if one is needed) follows this order:
1. Singapore Citizens living within 1km of the school
2. Singapore Citizens living between 1km and 2km
3. Singapore Citizens living beyond 2km
4. Permanent Residents living within 1km
5. Permanent Residents living between 1km and 2km
6. Permanent Residents living beyond 2km
Distance and citizenship are the levers most within your control. Our registration guide walks through every phase and the key dates in full.
