Small group classes so your child can ask questions, get feedback, and is never lost in the crowd
From P5 onwards, every class is structured around PSLE technique — not just content, but how to show working clearly and pick up method marks
Parents are kept in the loop on what was covered and where their child needs more practice — so you're never in the dark between sessions
The programme
What your child gets at DeepThink
Each weekly session builds directly on the last. Your child works through new concepts, revisits gaps, and practises exam-style questions — in a group small enough that the teacher actually knows them.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Wellington 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 Wellington 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
Wellington Primary School commenced operations on 2 January 2001, opening with an initial enrolment of 303 pupils on a purpose-built campus in Sembawang that was developed by the Ministry of Education at a cost of S$11 million. Since then, the school has expanded to serve over 1,500 students and established itself as a government co-educational institution with English as the primary medium of instruction.
The school operates on a single-session schedule and offers mother tongue language options in Chinese, Malay, Tamil, and Hindi at both standard and higher levels. Wellington does not hold Special Assistance Plan (SAP) status. Its guiding motto is "Learn with Pride, Serve with Heart," and its educational approach centres on student-focused learning, bilingual proficiency, and character formation.
Two signature programmes distinguish Wellington from other primary schools in the area. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP), known as Makers@WPS, focuses on Digital Making and incorporates STEM concepts such as coding and robotics into classroom learning. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), titled Artivists with a HeART, uses music and the performing arts as a platform for creative expression and values development across all year levels.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Wellington Primary School follows the standard MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which takes place online between July and August each year. The exercise is open to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents with children turning seven the following year.
Registration proceeds in phases. Phase 1 is reserved for children with older siblings currently attending the school. Phase 2A covers children whose parents are alumni, school staff, or members of an affiliated organisation. Phase 2B is for children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who are endorsed by a community or church leader. Phase 2C is open to all remaining eligible children with no prior connection to the school, and Phase 2C Supplementary follows for any unfilled places.
When applications in any phase exceed available spots, places are allocated by balloting. Priority is given based on the distance between the family's registered home address and the school, with preference going to those living within 1 km, then 1 to 2 km, and finally beyond 2 km. Parents should consult the MOE website for the most current phase dates, vacancy figures, and documentation requirements.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Wellington Primary School follows the national MOE curriculum, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science, Mother Tongue Languages, Social Studies, Art, Music, and Physical Education. Foundation and standard subject levels are available to cater to different learning needs, and the curriculum builds progressively towards the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) at Primary 6.
Mathematics is a notable area of strength at Wellington. Students have earned recognition in several national and international competitions, including a Champion title at the 2024 International Maths Challenge, Gold at the International STEM Olympiad, and multiple medals at the Singapore International Math Olympiad Challenge and the Hua Xia Cup Chinese Mathematical Olympiad. The school also achieved a Distinction at the Raffles Institution Primary Maths World Contest in 2014.
The Makers@WPS Applied Learning Programme supports mathematical thinking by connecting concepts like geometry and data handling to practical projects involving coding, robotics, and digital fabrication. For families seeking additional structured support in mathematics outside school hours, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers programmes aligned to the primary syllabus and competition preparation.
In 2025, Wellington student Avanthika was awarded the Prime Minister's Book Prize, reflecting the school's commitment to nurturing well-rounded learners across both academic and literary pursuits.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
Wellington Primary School operates from a single-session campus equipped with interactive smart classrooms, a dedicated Makers@WPS laboratory fitted with 3D printers and robotics equipment, a library, and outdoor learning spaces including eco-gardens used for hands-on lessons.
The school provides support for students with special educational needs through Special Educational Needs Officers and the P1 TRANSIT programme, which addresses social and behavioural development for incoming pupils.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are offered across four categories. In sports, students can participate in Badminton, Football, Table Tennis, Wushu, and Scouts. The performing arts programme includes Choir, Guzheng Ensemble, Modern Dance, Chinese Dance, Indian Dance, and Malay Dance. Visual arts and technology options include Art and Crafts and Infocomm Technology (Media Production), the latter involving coding and digital media skills. The school's ALP also provides opportunities for students interested in STEM-related challenges and competition training.
Student Life and School Culture
Wellington Primary School fosters a school culture built around inclusivity, respect, and community involvement. The school maintains a Parent Support Group that provides opportunities for families to participate in school events, volunteer activities, and their children's learning journey.
Character development is embedded throughout the school experience, with the motto "Learn with Pride, Serve with Heart" guiding expectations for student conduct and community engagement. The Artivists with a HeART programme reinforces these values by encouraging students to express themselves creatively while developing empathy and teamwork through collaborative arts projects.
Notable alumni from Wellington include graduates who have gone on to pursue STEM-focused pathways in secondary school. Members of the Class of 2023, such as Daveraj Sivasegaran and Ong Ze Xuan, have continued to develop their academic interests after leaving Wellington, contributing to the school's growing track record of preparing students for the next stage of their education.
