There are seven secondary schools in Sengkang and twelve primary schools, according to the Ministry of Education’s school directory for the Sengkang planning area. They are spread across the town’s four neighbourhoods, Anchorvale, Compassvale, Rivervale and Fernvale, and most are within a short walk of a Sengkang LRT station. The newest arrival is Outram Secondary School, which moved its intake to a new campus in Anchorvale in 2026. There is no junior college in the town.
We list schools by location only and do not rank them. Visit open houses and read each school’s own website to see which suits your child.

Schools by neighbourhood
- Anchorvale (West loop): Anchor Green, Nan Chiau and Springdale primary schools, plus Nan Chiau High and Outram Secondary. Nan Chiau Primary and Nan Chiau High sit on the same road, Anchorvale Link. Anchorvale Village and Sengkang Sports Centre are nearby.
- Compassvale (East loop): the biggest cluster, with Compassvale, Seng Kang, North Vista and Palm View primary schools and Compassvale and Seng Kang secondary schools. North Vista Primary and Palm View Primary are on the southern edge, closer to Buangkok MRT.
- Rivervale (East loop): North Spring and Rivervale primary schools, with North Vista Secondary on Rivervale Link.
- Fernvale (West loop): Fern Green, Fernvale and Sengkang Green primary schools and Pei Hwa Secondary, near The Seletar Mall.
- Sengkang East Way: CHIJ St. Joseph’s Convent, on the same road as Sengkang General Hospital.
Several schools share a name at both levels, such as Nan Chiau and North Vista. Whether a pair is formally affiliated affects Secondary 1 posting, so check each school’s profile on MOE SchoolFinder rather than assuming.
Outram Secondary’s move to Sengkang
Outram Secondary, one of Singapore’s older schools, was based at York Hill, near Outram Park and Chinatown. MOE decided to move it because demand for secondary places there was falling while the North-East kept growing. The school took no new Secondary 1 students in 2025, then admitted its first Secondary 1 cohort at 48 Anchorvale Crescent in 2026. It runs two campuses until 2027, when its last Secondary 4 students at York Hill graduate. The school’s open house site says the Anchorvale campus is a few minutes’ walk from Farmway LRT.
Getting to school
Most Sengkang children walk or take the LRT, which loops past nearly every school. MOE’s directory lists bus services for each school, but routes change, so check a journey planner. School buses are arranged by each school with private operators, not by MOE.
As of September 2026, the inner direction of the Sengkang West loop, via Cheng Lim, is closed for works until 18 October 2026, with shuttle buses at weekday peaks. This affects journeys to Outram Secondary and other Anchorvale and Fernvale schools. See our Sengkang transport guide.
How to check home-school distance
For Primary 1 registration, MOE gives priority to children living within 1 km of an oversubscribed school, then those within 1–2 km, then those further away. Use SchoolQuery on OneMap, the Singapore Land Authority’s map: enter your address or postal code, and it lists schools within each band. This is the measure MOE uses, not the walking distance.
Sengkang’s LRT loops make schools feel close, but distance bands are measured in a straight line. A school that takes two LRT stops to reach can still fall within 1 km, and one that looks close on the loop may not. Check your exact block on OneMap.
P1 registration and Secondary 1 basics
MOE runs P1 registration online. The 2026 exercise ran from June to August in five phases: Phase 1 for siblings, then 2A, 2B, 2C and 2C Supplementary. If a phase is oversubscribed, places go by citizenship, then distance, then ballot.
On 10 September 2026, MOE announced that from the 2027 exercise, for children entering Primary 1 in 2028, most schools will reserve 60 places in Phase 2C instead of 40. Schools with fewer than 180 P1 places keep 40. Details are on the MOE P1 registration page.
After the PSLE, pupils are posted to secondary schools based on results, choices and any affiliation. Compare programmes and co-curricular activities on MOE SchoolFinder. For neighbouring towns, see our Hougang schools guide and our Punggol schools guide.
