Bedok Town Secondary School is no longer an available secondary school for pupils choosing their 2027 Secondary 1 placement after PSLE results. The school merged into Ping Yi Secondary School in 2016; Ping Yi subsequently merged with Bedok Green Secondary School in 2023, and the present-day school is Bedok Green Secondary School. Parents searching for Bedok Town’s old PSLE cut-off must therefore stop using that historic name and compare the current Bedok Green Secondary School admission figures, programmes and campus instead.

Bedok Green Secondary School is at 360 Bedok North Avenue 3, Singapore 469722, near Bedok Reservoir MRT. For the 2026 Secondary 1 intake based on PSLE 2025, its historical ranges were Posting Group 3 (PG3) 12–20, Posting Group 2 (PG2) 21–25 and Posting Group 1 (PG1) 25–30*. The 30* indicates remaining places in that previous exercise, not a guaranteed place in 2027. Today’s Bedok Green combines Design and Aeronautical Engineering applied learning with a PAssion performing arts programme. Its merger heritage also includes the design education and restorative-practices work of Ping Yi. Families must assess their child’s actual subject levels, travel and six valid school choices.

Quick parent summary: • Bedok Town Secondary School is a former school and cannot be selected separately for 2027; • Merged with Ping Yi Secondary School in 2016; • Ping Yi later merged with Bedok Green Secondary School in 2023, retaining Bedok Green’s English name; • Current school: Bedok Green Secondary School, 360 Bedok North Avenue 3, Singapore 469722; • 2026 historical current-school scores: PG3 12–20, PG2 21–25, PG1 25–30*; • Contact Bedok Green at 6446 3301; • Bedok Reservoir MRT (DT30) is a transport reference; • Current ALP: Design and Aeronautical Engineering, coding and design thinking; • Current LLP: PAssion music, drama and dance; • Use the current Bedok Green code and six acceptable schools.

1. The essential answer: can I choose Bedok Town Secondary School now?

No. Bedok Town Secondary School was a former institution that merged into Ping Yi Secondary in 2016. The later merger of Ping Yi with Bedok Green means the present-day mainstream school in that lineage is Bedok Green Secondary School. There is no separate Bedok Town Secondary 1 intake for the 2026 PSLE cohort.

Do not use an old Bedok Town school code in the MOE Secondary 1 choice submission. Search for Bedok Green Secondary School, verify the correct Posting Group and compare its current historical cut-offs. A defunct name is not an additional school-choice opportunity.

2. The first merger took place in 2016

Bedok Green’s official heritage page explicitly records that Ping Yi Secondary School and Bedok Town Secondary School merged in 2016, retaining the name Ping Yi at that stage. Bedok Town’s independent history ended then, even though the name continued to appear on former pupils’ certificates, photographs and neighbourhood discussions.

This is why a school ranking published in 2015 may still list Bedok Town but be unusable for 2027 planning. The institution, available places and applicant profile changed after the merger. Current MOE records—not pre-2016 cut-off tables—should guide a family.

3. The second merger led to Bedok Green

MOE announced in 2021 that Ping Yi and Bedok Green would merge, retaining Bedok Green as the English name. The combined institution began operating from the 2023 academic year with the Bedok Green name and campus. Its Chinese name retained Ping Yi’s characters to honour part of the school’s heritage.

Parents should not assume that today’s Bedok Green is identical to the Bedok Town they remember. It combines several lineages of pupils, staff, educational approaches and activities. Ask about current classes and programmes, rather than transfer an old reputation directly to the current school.

4. Why the Chinese and English names may look different

Bedok Green’s official heritage account explains that Ping Yi’s Chinese name, 平仪中学, was retained even while the English name became Bedok Green Secondary School. The school links this decision to the history of Pin Ghee Public School, a predecessor of Ping Yi.

A family reading a Chinese-language school directory might therefore encounter a name that does not translate literally as Bedok Green. That is a historical naming decision, not evidence of a second current school. Use the current official English name and school code for admissions.

5. Bedok Town’s former school building is not the current campus

Bedok Town’s former site was at 232 Bedok North Street 3. Public reporting in 2025 described the former site being cleared and considered for new development. That location should not be used as the address for Bedok Green’s current students or for an admissions meeting.

The school the child could attend is at 360 Bedok North Avenue 3, Singapore 469722. Verify that address before travelling. A parent who knows Bedok Town through an older family member may need to learn a completely different public transport route.

6. Bedok Green’s current contact information

The school’s official 2026 contact page lists telephone 6446 3301 and email bgss@moe.edu.sg, with general office hours during weekdays. Bedok Reservoir MRT on the Downtown Line and buses 14, 17, 18, 28, 46, 67, 69, 168, 222 and 228 are listed transport options.

These details describe the current school rather than either previous campus. For 2027 Secondary 1 admissions, questions about programmes, subject levels, CCA trials and visits should go to Bedok Green’s current office. Do not assume an archived Bedok Town telephone number remains active.

7. The present school’s 2026 PG3 score range

For the 2025 PSLE cohort entering Bedok Green in 2026, the PG3 range was 12–20. Under Singapore’s Achievement Level system a smaller total PSLE Score indicates stronger performance. The first number is the strongest total among pupils posted in that category and the final number is the historical last-admitted score.

A PG3-eligible pupil with Score 19 may reasonably investigate Bedok Green against the old boundary of 20, but that is not a guarantee. A pupil with Score 20 would have been at the previous boundary. The next intake depends on current applicants, choices and vacancies.

8. The PG2 and PG1 historical figures

The former PG2 range was 21–25 and PG1 was 25–30*. A pupil eligible for PG2 with Score 24 should compare with the PG2 final score of 25 rather than the PG3 figure of 20. A PG1-eligible child should discuss the actual subject-level curriculum and learning support rather than relying on the largest numerical score alone.

The school’s current figures are from the merged institution and must not be confused with any Bedok Town or Ping Yi cutoff from before the last merger. Use the up-to-date MOE SchoolFinder entry when the official school-choice window opens.

9. Understanding the 30* notation without overconfidence

MOE’s 30* notation describes a previous exercise with remaining vacancies: the school could have accepted an eligible pupil at the maximum PSLE total, although the last student actually posted had a better total. It is not a claim that the last admitted pupil scored exactly 30.

The same number of vacancies may not exist next year. Parents should view the asterisk as a historical posting detail, not a promise or a measure of the quality of teaching at Bedok Green. A suitable school remains one where the child can learn and feel supported.

10. Old Bedok Town cut-offs are not comparable

Bedok Town’s old scores came from a different institution and an earlier admissions system. The combined school after 2016, and the later Bedok Green after 2023, have their own intake structures and education programmes. Averaging the historical cut-offs would produce a number without official meaning.

Families sometimes find archived pages and attempt to forecast a 2027 score from an obsolete school name. A much stronger method is to use Bedok Green’s actual 2026 entry ranges, check the child’s present Posting Group and prepare several other acceptable options.

11. The school heritage includes Ping Yi’s design education

Ping Yi was recognised for its design-education work, including designation in 2013 as the East Zone Centre of Excellence in Design Education. It also received awards for innovations in teaching and student development. This history gives context for the merged school’s continuing interest in practical design and creative problem-solving.

Do not infer that every previous Ping Yi course or selected award programme continues identically. Ask Bedok Green what its current 2026–2027 curriculum actually includes for a new Secondary 1 pupil. Past achievements can be a useful conversation starter, but present-day instruction is what the child will experience.

12. Restorative practices are also part of the heritage

Bedok Green’s heritage page records that Ping Yi began developing Restorative Practices in 2005, focusing on positive relationships between teachers and pupils and among pupils themselves. This is a distinctive historical contribution to the merged school’s identity.

Parents should ask what student-management procedures are in use today rather than assume every legacy policy is unchanged. A supportive environment should explain how staff respond to a mistake, help pupils accept responsibility and repair relationships when appropriate.

13. The current ALP is Design and Aeronautical Engineering

Bedok Green’s Applied Learning Programme links design thinking, coding and engineering through practical problems. The current school describes intelligent circuit boards, everyday automation and aeronautical contexts, giving pupils opportunities to connect Science, Mathematics and technology.

An incoming pupil who enjoys making things may find this attractive. Another child may appreciate it as a chance to try new skills. Ask what the normal cohort receives and how beginners are introduced, instead of assuming that only robotics competition winners can participate.

14. Arduino: practical coding with real outcomes

Bedok Green uses Arduino-based experiences in its ALP. A small circuit board can receive information from a sensor, follow instructions and control an output. This makes abstract ideas about conditions and sequences visible and easier to test.

Parents should ask whether pupils learn to explain why a program works, diagnose a mistake and improve a prototype. A lesson is stronger when the student understands its reasoning than when they simply copy a set of instructions and display a successful light.

15. Design thinking should begin with users

The programme emphasises designing solutions for real-life needs, including challenges experienced by older people. A device that works electrically may still be hard for a user to understand, hold or maintain. Design thinking helps students consider the person before choosing technical features.

Ask how pupils gather feedback and whether they are encouraged to revise their ideas. A useful design should be evaluated against its intended purpose and constraints, not merely the sophistication of its components.

16. The aeronautics theme is not a job guarantee

An aviation-related school programme can help pupils explore lift, balance, design and engineering principles. It does not guarantee a future pilot training route, an industry attachment or admission to a particular polytechnic course.

Parents should encourage the child’s curiosity while keeping educational options open. A teenager may eventually prefer another field but retain valuable skills in measurement, coding and testing. A special programme should deepen understanding rather than demand early career commitment.

17. Tier 2 STEM opportunities require checking

Bedok Green describes deeper coding, problem-solving and project opportunities for interested pupils, including competitions and specialist workshops. These may be selected or require more time than the ordinary ALP curriculum.

Ask what all pupils experience in Secondary 1 and what selection criteria apply to advanced teams. A child should not be told that choosing Bedok Green automatically guarantees a particular robotics competition, research project or internship.

18. The current LLP emphasises performing arts

Bedok Green’s Learning for Life Programme is called PAssion and focuses on music, drama and dance. It provides exposure for lower-secondary pupils and opportunities to develop expression, collaboration and confidence. This is a different present-day school feature from the older Bedok Town identity.

Parents should ask how each art form is introduced to learners with no previous training. A child who prefers technical work may still benefit from performance and interpretation, while an artistic pupil may enjoy the combination with the design ALP.

19. Drama can develop English and empathy

Drama requires a pupil to interpret language, consider a character’s situation and respond to others. These habits can reinforce reading comprehension, oral communication and respectful discussion. A quiet child may need rehearsals and small-group activities before feeling confident on stage.

Ask how teachers distribute roles and give feedback. An effective class values preparation, listening and teamwork as much as a confident performance. The purpose is growth, not forcing every student to become an actor.

20. Music and dance require regular practice

Music and dance can teach attention, timing, cooperation and the discipline of refining an idea. A student may discover a new strength in rhythm or movement after joining an introductory school activity. These are valuable experiences even without joining a competitive performing-arts CCA.

Ask which activities are cohort-wide and which need auditions or additional rehearsal time. A family should consider the child’s academic workload and commute rather than assume all arts opportunities can be added without cost in time.

21. Brillante is an example of a school production

Bedok Green’s LLP materials describe an in-house musical production called Brillante, involving pupils and staff. A production needs singers and actors, but also staging, organisation and technical support. Different students can contribute through different strengths.

This does not mean the same musical is held every year or that every Secondary 1 pupil receives a starring role. Ask about current opportunities and what role a child can undertake. The broader school community should remain appealing even if the pupil is not selected for a showcase.

22. A mix of STEM and arts can suit a broad learner

A child may enjoy both electronics and dance, while another wants to use visual design in a project about technology. A school that introduces both STEM and performing arts can allow a teenager to discover interests without deciding too early that they are solely ‘technical’ or ‘artistic’.

Parents should still look for an appropriate academic timetable, fair assessment and manageable enrichment. A pupil who is overloaded may enjoy neither programme fully. Ask how the school helps students choose commitments wisely.

23. Full Subject-Based Banding after the merger

Bedok Green now operates under Full Subject-Based Banding. Posting Groups determine the admission route, while G1, G2 and G3 indicate the level of individual subjects. A pupil may be stronger in Science than English, or ready for a more demanding Mathematics level while requiring support elsewhere.

Ask how teachers arrange subject offers, how an individual pupil can progress when eligible and what foundation support is available. Old Bedok Town or Ping Yi stream-based timetables are not reliable guides to the 2027 child’s SEC pathway.

24. The SEC qualification is the current context

Singapore’s common Secondary Education Certificate is replacing the older separate national secondary examination names for students taking the relevant examinations from 2027. For a child entering Secondary 1 in 2027, parents should ask the school about current subject levels and combinations rather than assume an archived Express or Normal booklet still applies.

A school can offer many subjects without allowing every student to take every combination. If Higher Mother Tongue, Additional Mathematics or a particular applied elective is important, verify the actual eligibility and timetable with Bedok Green.

25. CCAs belong to the current school

The merged Bedok Green offers CCAs across sports, performing arts, uniformed groups and clubs. It may include activities and traditions inherited from its predecessor schools, but the current roster and selection procedures are the only ones that matter to incoming pupils.

Ask which activities welcome beginners, whether auditions or trials are required and how many afternoons training takes. A child should identify several acceptable options instead of assuming an old Bedok Town team exists with the same name or places.

26. DSA does not re-create the old school

Direct School Admission is an earlier talent-based exercise carried out before ordinary PSLE posting. A DSA area advertised by Bedok Green is part of the current school, not a late application to the former Bedok Town or Ping Yi.

A pupil using regular Secondary 1 posting is not guaranteed a place in the school’s selected competitive team. The family should judge the everyday curriculum, student wellbeing and transport first.

27. How to travel to Bedok Green today

The present campus is at 360 Bedok North Avenue 3, Singapore 469722, near Bedok Reservoir MRT on the Downtown Line. The school lists bus services including 14, 17, 18, 28, 46, 67, 69, 168, 222 and 228.

Test the journey during normal school morning traffic and after CCA. A family’s memory of travelling to the old Bedok Town campus will not establish the new route. Consider the final walk, weather, safe crossings and whether the child can travel independently.

28. School support and everyday belonging

A new pupil may be excited by the arts programme but worried about unfamiliar classmates or assessments. Ask who their form teacher contact will be and how the school notices persistent academic or social difficulties. A positive learning environment gives children a credible route to ask for help.

For medical, sensory, mobility or diagnosed learning needs, discuss specific arrangements privately. Practical technology activities, performances and school movement may require advance planning. A general commitment to inclusion should be supported by concrete procedures.

29. The school’s 2026 Open House is for Bedok Green

Bedok Green’s current website provides an Open House 2026 registration page, offering an opportunity to investigate present-day programmes. Parents should use that official page for the confirmed date, timing and any sign-up requirements, not an old Bedok Town event poster.

At a visit, ask what every Secondary 1 pupil does in coding and in PAssion arts, how advanced activities are selected and how the school supports a child who is shy or behind in one subject. Let the pupil say which features feel inviting and which cause concern.

30. A family with an old Bedok Town connection

Imagine a parent who graduated from Bedok Town and remembers the campus at Bedok North Street 3. Their child is now considering schools after PSLE. The parent can share positive memories, but should explain that Bedok Town became part of Ping Yi and later Bedok Green.

If the current child’s strengths and travel suit Bedok Green, that school may be worth listing. If another school is better, there is no obligation to continue a heritage that no longer exists as a separate institution. The child’s experience must take priority.

31. A PG3 family example: Score 19

Suppose a pupil has PG3 eligibility and total Score 19. Bedok Green’s previous PG3 cutoff was 20, which makes the current school historically plausible to investigate. The family checks its coding curriculum, arts opportunities and actual morning journey.

Then it prepares alternatives with a spread of previous cutoffs. Matching an earlier cutoff or doing better than it does not guarantee a place in 2027. All six schools should be places the child could accept.

32. A PG1 family example: Score 29

Another child has PG1 eligibility and Score 29, compared with Bedok Green’s previous 30* notation. The family may investigate the school but should not regard the asterisk as a guaranteed admission ticket.

Ask about the child’s likely subject levels, academic support and activity access. A school should be valued for its ability to develop an individual learner, not treated as a label from a cutoff table. The child’s interests in music, design or sport deserve genuine consideration.

33. A former-school name cannot count as an extra choice

MOE’s S1 system uses current school names and codes. Bedok Town, Ping Yi and Bedok Green should not be treated as three separate active choices, because the former two have been merged into the present Bedok Green institution.

Choose six distinct current schools in sincere preference order. MOE recommends two or three with historically less-demanding cutoffs than the child’s total where possible. Check the school code, Posting Group and final acknowledgement before submission.

34. How posting tie-breakers work

MOE places eligible pupils primarily by overall PSLE Score. If pupils with the same total compete for the remaining vacancies, citizenship, school-choice order and computerised balloting are tie-breakers. Listing Bedok Green first does not override another pupil with a stronger total.

Parents should avoid claiming that an inactive Bedok Town name creates a new application route or that a past vacancy symbol guarantees the result. Use official current instructions and keep multiple acceptable options.

35. The current school’s 2027 registration replaces old instructions

If a pupil is posted to Bedok Green, follow the receiving school’s current Secondary 1 registration, orientation, booklists, uniforms, Personal Learning Device and Parents Gateway notices. Do not order textbooks or plan reporting based on a Bedok Town document from years ago.

Practise the journey and help the teenager develop a steady routine for homework, school messages and asking for help. A calm start with suitable expectations is more valuable than continuing to compare obsolete cutoff tables after placement.
