Clementi Primary School
Encyclopedia
Clementi Primary School is a government-funded and managed primary school in Singapore
. It is located in Clementi
, a new town
in western Singapore. The school is next to Clementi Secondary School.
As a result of changing demographics and the increasing median age of residents in the relatively older new town, the number of school-going children in the area has seen dipping enrollment in several primary schools there. Clementi Primary was thus formed in 2001 by amalgamating two schools, namely Clementi North Primary School and Clementi Town Primary School.
To accommodate the expanded institution, a new school building was built on the former Clementi Town Primary site, allowing the school to begin occupying the site from January 2003.
The principal is Mrs. Chandler Jay Siva. Vice-principal is Mdm Rosaline Wee. English HOD is Mrs Gay Tan. Math HOD is Miss Sim CK. Chinese MT HOD is Miss Poon Sook Funn.
