Expat Living (Singapore)

Tanglin Trust School

-

We’ve been living in Singapore since August 2014. Leo started Nursery at Tanglin Trust School in 2019 and is now in Year 3. Isabella started in Nursery this year.

We were looking for a school with an outstandin­g academic record, excellent pastoral care, great facilities and an environmen­t where our children wouldn’t feel lost in a huge campus. Tanglin ticked all the boxes for us.

Both our children settled in well from day one, thanks to the gentle induction programme in Nursery and the optional early finish time. The teachers get to know each child very well and really do bring out the best in them. Leo and Isabella are always full of excitement and unable to stop chatting about what they’ve been up to each day.

Isabella has been attending Forest School as part of her weekly curriculum, which she loves. We spend many happy hours in the Infant Library. Her favourite activity is gymnastics where she gets to use the world-class gymnastics centre in the new Centenary Building.

There’s a very strong sense of community throughout the school. One reason is the house system – all children from Nursery onwards are included and get involved in House events. There are also so many events throughout the year put on by Friends of Tanglin. Parents, staff and children get together for bi-annual movie nights, the Christmas fair, parent quiz nights and an annual cross country run.

Tanglin always goes the extra mile. It has far exceeded all of our expectatio­ns and we’re so pleased that our children have the opportunit­y to attend such an incredible school.
