School connections
How this school links to the wider system, secondary and preschool, each of which can shape the P1 and later journey.
Temasek 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.
MOE Kindergarten @ Temasek. A place there earns Phase 2A priority for a P1 seat here.

Common questions
Is Temasek Primary School affiliated to a secondary school? +
No. Temasek Primary School has no MOE secondary school affiliation, so pupils go through the usual Secondary 1 Posting exercise at the end of Primary 6 based on their PSLE results and choices.
Is Temasek Primary a GEP school? +
No. It is not one of the primary schools that host the Gifted Education Programme. MOE is also phasing out the GEP from 2027 in favour of new school based approaches to stretch high-ability pupils.
Was there balloting for Primary 1 in 2025? +
Yes. In the 2025 exercise, balloting was required at both Phase 2A and Phase 2C, so places were not guaranteed for every applicant in those phases.
Does Temasek have an affiliated secondary school? +
No. MOE does not list an affiliated secondary school for Temasek Primary School, so a P1 place here gives no affiliation priority into any secondary. Secondary posting follows the normal PSLE and Secondary 1 Posting Exercise.
