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.

“At the heart of the educational process lies the child. No advances in policy, no acquisition of new equipment have their desired effect unless they are in harmony with the child, unless they are fundamentally acceptable to him.”
—Central Advisory Council for Education. Children and Their Primary Schools (Plowden Report)
“The primary imperative for women who intend to assume a meaningful and decisive role in today’s social change is to begin to perceive themselves as having an identity and personal integrity that has as strong a claim for being preserved intact as that of any other individual or group.”
—Margaret Adams (b. 1916)
“I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
