I’m looking for further info on Stamford Primary, aside from what’s available on their website. I imagine the school has evolved over the years; it would be great to hear some real experiences from parents who have their children attending the school and would also be good to understand what questions other parents who are interested in sending their child here would have.

My reply to Pameline still applies, no change: Stamford is an okay school. They just do the minimum that MOE requires. They don’t challenge the kids in any way, academically and otherwise. Hope this helps.

Please do not change this into an "old girls" area. This is meant for parents who have students in the school now to exchange views and information. I know there hasn’t been much activity of late, although I have been trying to encourage posts by putting up little comments.

But at least there has been some activity by parents who are genuinely seeking information about this school as it is now. Not as it was many years ago.

So please please please do not post old photos and old stories here. I’m sure there is another space on KSP that you can use for this purpose.

Thank you.

My name is Tan Hoon Ngoh. This group of us from 1962-1967 is passionate about our good old days in Stamford Girls Primary. We still visit our dear Mrs Helen Wee who was our form teacher in Primary 5 A and 6 A. And we also missed our former lady Principal, Mrs Macyntyre (I hope to have her name spelt correctly. If not, please forgive me). We really love and missed our time together. I will be posting our Primary 2 photograph soon. Let us help one another locate our good old friends like Wong May Ling, Lim Tew Tien (the Hainanese group). Also Tang Lang Kim. I missed you dearly. Please get in touch with me. My website: http://www.the5loaves2fish.com [Currently, I am giving some help to the Parents Volunteers group to do some Arts & Craft items for the coming 2014 Teachers Day gift. Welcome anyone who wants to participate].

The school has a playroom with Xbox and other toys. Students who do well get a slip from the teacher allowing them to use the room for a short while.


He has mixed feelings about his classmates. He tells me mainly about the boys and most of them seem to behave badly or talk rudely or both. They pull him by his collar, shove him against the wall and recently accused him of stealing. He reports such incidents to his teacher but they continue.

As for teachers, he doesn’t like the stern ones (typical of any child I guess).

i almost reg my son for 2013 as i was told tt OLD GIRLS and BOYS from Stamford Girls' / Waterloo Pri / Selige Pri DO NOT require balloting !


me from Waterloo and late mum Chinese Teacher from Stamford Girls for more than 30yrs of teaching which was oso late mum's dying wish for my son to reg in Phrase 2A1 instead of Phrase 2A2 ......... then managed to spoken to Allied Educator ( Ms Samantha ) coz' my son diagonsed with ADHD ..... very happy to see the website for the OLD teachers whom I known from Stamford and Waterloo -less than 10 teachers still TEACHING ! Despite I residing in the east with at least require 60mins of train ride and hesitate very long long while.

My late mum used to babysit this boy and graduating from NUS ..... tis boy year was good, so long registered for Pre-Primary (wat so call K2) then can auto direct admission for P1 ........

Just to share ..... initial years of Stamford Primary School, many Koreans studied as there ain't any Korea Int'l School ...... then slowly have Int'l Kids registered.

To my personal view of any schools are depending on the child ...... Even branded schools like TNS , NYPS too have poor grades performance children !! I'm sourcing for mainsteam schools to have good team of teaching staff whom can handle ' special needs children ' like my son coz' he can't get into PathLight School ..... Btw, Stamford Pri School; Ms Samantha specialised handling ASD (Austism Spectrum Disorder ) kids .....

I also from Waterloo primary. Which year did u graduate? I graduated in 1983?

I wouldn’t call Stamford academically challenging. You could try posting your query in the Parents’ Networking Groups of each school you named so the parents who have kids there can advise you.

My daughter is currently in K1 at GUG, which is a fairly academically aggressive Pre-K/K curriculum. We’re expats, considering PR status (we’ve been here 3 years, no current plans to leave) but for the moment I’m assuming we’ll have to wait until Phase 3 to register.

They provide a lot of information about the reading program they use, and my biggest concern is that she will be bored. She is reading Magic Treehouse with me (she can read all the words, but is building stamina as attention starts to wander after 3 pages of solid text) and by end of P2, I expect her to be reading books like Magic Treehouse and other chapter books in that level or slightly above on her own.

They note that there’s some differentiation in English (in the extending learning stations) but have you guys found that to be true?

In Central I don’t have any other options as a phase 3 registrant, but we’re in the process of moving condos. Other options for us include Eunos, McPherson, Bendemeer, Farrer Park, Newtown, Queenstown, and First Tao Payoh. Are any of those any more academically challenging primary schools?

Stamford CareHut is a school-based student care centre run by Care Community Services Society. Located within the premises of the school, it provides children with a safe and nurturing environment to go to after school ends each day. The Care Hut programme aims to build positive character values in children and help them discover their potential. Strong collaboration with Stamford Primary School’s management and teachers also allows CareHut staff to monitor closely the holistic development of our children. The availability of different school facilities (e.g. classroom, sports facilities) after school hours, further allows children to enjoy a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities.

Key programme features at CareHut include supervised homework time, holiday outings/programmes, character development programme and fun activities to spur children’s interest in learning. Priority for enrolment is given to children from low income and single-parent families. Eligible children can also receive government subsidies for the CareHut fees.
