A review of the geographical spread of the existing ASD-NC SPED schools has also shown a need for a new SPED school to meet the needs of the growing population in the North-East region of Singapore. To meet the growing demand for school places in Bukit Batok West, MOE will relocate Bukit View Primary School (BVPS) in Bukit Batok East to the area in January 2027, about 2km away. To meet the growing demand of students with moderate SEN who have Autism Spectrum Disorder and can access the National Curriculum (ASD-NC), MOE will be setting up a new ASD-NC SPED school to cater to students of this profile to be run by Methodist Welfare Services in partnership with ACS. The name of the new SPED school will be announced at a later date. As cohort sizes at ACS(P)@Barker gradually fall, the school will subsequently consolidate with Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) (ACS(J)) at Winstedt Road tentatively in 2033. MOE has also planned for a new secondary school in Sengkang to meet the demand from this area, including from Punggol. The Anglo-Chinese School (ACS) Board of Governors and MOE have discussed and agreed for ACS(P) to relocate from its current campus to Tengah. As part of its relocation to Tengah, the new ACS(P)@Tengah will also turn co-educational when it opens in 2030 to allow the local community good access to the school. As Tengah Town continues to welcome more families moving in over the coming years, MOE will be building two more primary schools to meet the growing demand, with the second primary school opening in 2028, and the third opening in 2030 MOE previously announced that Pioneer Primary School would be relocated to Tengah in 2026 and be the first primary school in the area. This will meet the demand for school places in new towns and is part of our efforts to ensure a good geographical spread of schools, and to continue our efforts in offering quality SPED. The Ministry of Education (MOE) will be opening or relocating four mainstream schools and two Special Education (SPED) schools across the West and North-East regions of Singapore from 2026.
