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.

“Parental attitudes have greater correlation with pupil achievement than material home circumstances or variations in school and classroom organization, instructional materials, and particular teaching practices.”
—Children and Their Primary Schools, vol. 1, ch. 3, Central Advisory Council for Education, London (1967)
“Wilful sterility is, from the standpoint of the nation, from the standpoint of the human race, the one sin for which the penalty is national death, race death; a sin for which there is no atonement.... No man, no woman, can shirk the primary duties of life, whether for love of ease and pleasure, or for any other cause, and retain his or her self-respect.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
