Everything you know about the First Toa Payoh Primary School

Each of the first letters of the school’s name, FTPP, converges on a target in the School Logo. The various shades of the letters reflect the four schools that have merged to form our new school, with the letter ‘S’ in the center. The words of  First Toa Payoh Primary School  slogan, “MAKING IMPACT,” also converge on the target center to represent our commitment to achievement and greatness. The motto and school letters extend outwards from the target center, symbolizing our commitment to make a difference in the lives of not just our children but also their families, community, and beyond.

Philosophy, culture, and ethos:

FTPS (First Toa Payoh Primary School) was founded in 1968 at Lorong 1 in Toa Payoh. The school moved to its current location at Lorong 8, Toa Payoh, on January 2, 2002. Because it was the first school in Toa Payoh, it kept its unique name. Every child matters and deserves an education, according to FTPPS. We work with our key partners in our objective to help every student at First Toa Payoh Primary School reach his full potential and to realize the school vision of a caring and creative learning community dedicated to excellence.
