School Overview
Naval Base Primary School is a government co-educational primary school situated at 7 Yishun Avenue 4, Singapore 769028. It was founded in 1988 and initially operated from a temporary site at Peiying Primary School before moving to its permanent campus later that year. The school held its official opening in 1991 and has since undergone several rounds of facility upgrades and programme expansion.
The school's guiding philosophy is "Every Child Matters," and its vision statement — "Every Individual A Leader" — reflects an emphasis on developing leadership qualities across the student body. Naval Base Primary School is a single-session school offering instruction in English alongside mother tongue languages: Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, at both standard and higher levels.
Two Ministry of Education (MOE) distinctive programmes shape the school's identity. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) focuses on Interdisciplinary Constructionist Game Design, where students learn coding and computational thinking through project-based activities. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), known as HOPES (Healthy Living, Outdoor Appreciation, Personal Effort and Service), centres on outdoor education and community involvement to develop resilience and teamwork.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Naval Base Primary School follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted in phases each year.
Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently attending the school. Phase 2A gives priority to children whose parents are alumni, staff members, or who are connected to the school through an affiliated school or church. Phase 2B is for children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who are endorsed by a community or clan leader. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore citizen and permanent resident children who have not secured a place in earlier phases. Phase 2C Supplementary follows for remaining vacancies.
When applications in any phase exceed available spots, places are allocated through a MOE-administered ballot. Distance from the school to the child's registered home address is a factor in the balloting process, with priority given to those living within 1 km, then within 1–2 km.
Parents apply through the MOE Primary 1 Registration portal during the designated registration window. The school's contact number is 6753 7114 and its email address is [email protected] for any admissions-related queries.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Naval Base Primary School follows the national MOE curriculum for primary education. Core subjects include English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), Mother Tongue Languages, Social Studies, Art, Music, and Physical Education. Foundation and standard levels are available for mother tongue languages to accommodate different proficiency levels.
The school places emphasis on building strong literacy and numeracy skills from the lower primary years, supported by inquiry-based and technology-integrated teaching methods. The ALP in Interdisciplinary Constructionist Game Design provides students with opportunities to apply mathematical and logical reasoning in creative contexts, particularly through coding projects and collaborative design challenges.
Students are assessed regularly through both formative and summative assessments in preparation for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) at the end of Primary 6. The school has produced recipients of the Prime Minister's Book Prize for PSLE achievement and the Lee Hsien Loong Award for Special Achievement, with students recognised in the 2023 cohort.
For families seeking additional support in mathematics beyond the school curriculum, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary syllabus, helping students strengthen problem-solving skills and numerical fluency.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The campus features classrooms fitted with interactive learning technology, a school library, and dedicated outdoor learning spaces that support the HOPES programme. The school provides barrier-free access across its facilities and employs allied educators and Special Educational Needs Officers to support students who require additional assistance. A P1 TRANSIT programme is available for Primary 1 students who need help with social and behavioural adjustment.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are offered across four categories. In sports, students can participate in basketball (boys and girls), football (boys), golf, and taekwondo (boys and girls). Uniformed groups include the Boys' Brigade, Girls' Brigade, and Red Cross Youth. The performing arts are represented by the Concert Band and Dance, while clubs and societies encompass Art and Crafts, Drama, and the Infocom Club, which focuses on digital skills and coding in line with the school's ALP.
These activities run on a modular basis, giving students from Primary 1 through Primary 6 the opportunity to explore different interests before committing to a specific CCA in the upper primary years.
Student Life and School Culture
Naval Base Primary School cultivates a school culture centred on values-driven education, inclusivity, and community engagement. Character development is woven into the curriculum through MOE's Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) framework, and students participate in Values-in-Action projects that connect them with the wider community.
The school received the Gold award for North West Outstanding School Partner in 2021, recognising its contributions to community partnerships. It was also featured in MOE's Our School, Our Stories 2025 publication, highlighting its approach to student development.
Parent involvement is encouraged through the school's parent-teacher association, volunteer programmes, and regular school events. The school maintains open communication with families through its website and official channels.
As a single-session school, Naval Base Primary School provides a consistent daily schedule that allows students time for CCAs, enrichment activities, and rest within a structured but supportive environment. The school's approach to education aims to develop confident, self-directed learners who are prepared for the transition to secondary school.
