Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Gan Eng Seng Primary School?
Yes. All Singapore primary schools follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus, and our P1–P6 classes are built around that curriculum — the same topics, the same model-drawing and heuristics approach, and the same exam format your child sits at Gan Eng Seng Primary School.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Parents are kept informed on what was covered and where their child should focus. We also flag any persistent gaps as soon as we spot them — not just before exams.
When should my child start tuition?
There's no single right answer, but earlier is generally better. Gaps in foundational topics like fractions and ratios compound as children move through primary school. A free trial class is a good way to find out where your child actually stands.
What makes DeepThink different from other math tuition centres?
Small group classes, parents kept in the loop on progress, and a curriculum focused on the exact skills MOE examiners test — including how to structure solutions, not just whether the answer is correct.
School Overview
Gan Eng Seng Primary School is a government co-educational institution located at 100 Redhill Close, Singapore 158901, in the Bukit Merah neighbourhood. The school serves students from Primary 1 through Primary 6 and operates on a single-session schedule, meaning all pupils attend during the same time period each day.
The school's distinctive programmes include its Applied Learning Programme, titled "From Farm to Table," which introduces interdisciplinary learning through hands-on agricultural and food-related projects. Its Learning for Life Programme centres on Sports and Outdoor Education, building character traits summarised by the acronym G.R.I.T — Gumption, Resilience, Inclusiveness, and Trustworthiness. Together, these signature programmes aim to develop well-rounded students who are both academically capable and socially responsible.
Gan Eng Seng Primary School also provides dedicated support for students with special educational needs through trained officers and the P1 TRANSIT programme, which addresses social and behavioural development for incoming Primary 1 pupils.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Gan Eng Seng Primary School follows the Ministry of Education's annual P1 Registration Exercise. Parents submit their applications through the MOE online portal using Singpass, and only one parent is required to complete the registration.
The registration proceeds through several phases. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling already enrolled at the school. Phase 2A accommodates children of alumni and those with other qualifying connections. Phase 2B applies to children of parent volunteers or those with church or clan affiliations linked to the school. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident children who were not placed in an earlier phase, with registration typically taking place in July.
When the number of Phase 2C applicants exceeds available places, allocation is determined first by home-to-school distance — with priority tiers at within 1 km, between 1 and 2 km, and beyond 2 km — and then by citizenship status, with Singapore Citizens given precedence over Permanent Residents. If places remain oversubscribed within a priority tier, a ballot is conducted. Supporting documents may be required in certain circumstances, such as when using an alternative residential address. Parents should consult the MOE admissions page each year for updated timelines and vacancy information.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Gan Eng Seng Primary School delivers the standard MOE primary curriculum. Core subjects include English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages — with Chinese, Malay, and Tamil available at foundation, standard, and higher levels to support bilingual development. Students also study Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies as part of a broad foundational education.
At the upper primary level, select subjects are offered at both foundation and standard levels, allowing pupils to learn at a pace suited to their ability. The curriculum prepares students for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) across the four examinable subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue.
Beyond the standard syllabus, the school's Applied Learning Programme ("From Farm to Table") integrates science, nutrition, and environmental awareness into project-based learning, while the Learning for Life Programme develops character and resilience through sport and outdoor activities.
Families seeking additional support in Mathematics may find it helpful to work with a dedicated tuition provider. DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the MOE primary syllabus, helping students build confidence and strengthen problem-solving skills alongside their school curriculum.

How does the P1 registration process work for Gan Eng Seng Primary School?
Registration follows the MOE P1 Registration Exercise. Parents use the online portal with Singpass to apply during the phase they qualify for — Phase 1 for siblings, Phase 2A for alumni connections, Phase 2B for parent volunteers or affiliated organisations, and Phase 2C for all remaining applicants. Only one parent needs to register, and supporting documents may be requested for specific situations such as the use of an alternative address.
How does Phase 2C admission and balloting work?
Phase 2C is open to Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident children who did not secure a place in earlier phases. Registration typically occurs in July.

A ballot is held when demand still exceeds supply within a given priority group.

Siblings of students currently attending the school are given guaranteed priority during Phase 1. Children of alumni or those with other qualifying connections to the school may be eligible to register during Phase 2A. Both phases take place before Phase 2C, which means available places may be reduced by the time open registration begins.
