Which Primary Schools Are Within 2 km of Draycott 8?

Published 8 November 2026

Primary Schools Near Draycott 8 in Brief

Two primary schools lie a little under a kilometre from Draycott 8 in a straight line: Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) at about 950 metres and Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) at about 970 metres. Four more are between one and two kilometres away, among them Singapore Chinese Girls’ School (Primary) at about 1.25 kilometres.

Every distance here is measured on OneMap from 8 Draycott Park to each school’s OneMap point, on 8 November 2026. For Primary 1 registration, MOE uses its own measurement, so the band that applies to a particular address should always be confirmed with MOE.

The sections below list the schools by distance band, explain how the bands are used, and add the secondary, international and pre-schools close to the site.

The figures here are the ones on the site’s location page and its schools guide, so a family comparing them will find the same numbers wherever they appear.

Within About 1 km of Draycott 8

Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) on Barker Road is about 950 metres from Draycott 8, and Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) on Winstedt Road about 970 metres.

Because both fall a little under one kilometre on OneMap, they are the schools a family is most likely to ask about first; MOE’s own measurement settles whether the address falls inside the one-kilometre band for each.

Between 1 and 2 km of Draycott 8

Singapore Chinese Girls’ School (Primary) on Dunearn Road is about 1.25 kilometres away. St. Margaret’s School (Primary) and Saint Joseph’s Institution Junior are each about 1.7 kilometres away, and River Valley Primary School about 1.85 kilometres.

Measured on OneMap (SLA) from 8 Draycott Park, 8 November 2026. MOE determines the distance band for Primary 1 registration.

Distances of one to two kilometres still matter for Primary 1 registration, because MOE’s second band comes ahead of applicants living further away. For each of these schools, as for the nearer two, MOE’s own measurement decides.

How MOE’s Distance Bands Apply at Draycott 8

For Primary 1 registration, MOE gives priority within each phase to children who live within one kilometre of a school, then to those living between one and two kilometres, then to those further away. The distance is measured by MOE’s own tool from the home address, and it is MOE’s result that counts.

A straight line on OneMap is a good first guide but not a substitute. Families planning around a particular school can check the address on MOE’s system before committing, and the Sales Concierge can provide the exact unit address for that purpose.

Because the bands depend on the address, every residence in the development shares the same starting point for this measurement: 8 Draycott Park. The unit number does not change the distance, so a family choosing between the Tower Simplex, the Garden Simplex and the Penthouse can do so without affecting the school bands.

A Draycott 8 Residence for a School-Age Family

The residences open for sale are all four-bedroom homes, with a master suite, a junior master suite with its own bathroom, and two further bedrooms, one of which can serve as a study. A helper’s room in the service wing and two kitchens complete a plan that suits a family with children at school.

Within the grounds, the children’s fun pool, the children’s playground, the tennis court and the multi-purpose turf lawn give room for play, and the clubhouse has a library and a games room. The 50-metre lap pool suits swimmers of every age.

For Primary 1 registration, MOE measures from the home address, which for every residence here is 8 Draycott Park, Singapore 259404, with its own unit number. The Sales Concierge can supply the full address of a residence so that a family can check the distance band on MOE’s own system before committing.

Older children have the same choice of transport as every resident: Orchard and Newton MRT stations are each about 620 to 670 metres from the site in a straight line, and Stevens about 1.2 kilometres.
