PSLE cut-off point for Beatty Secondary School
MOE publishes the PSLE score of the first and the last student posted into each school at each posting group. Below are Beatty Secondary School's figures for the 2026 Secondary 1 intake — the 2025 PSLE cohort. The last student's score is what is usually meant by the school's cut-off point.
| Posting group | PSLE score range |
|---|---|
| Posting Group 3 | AL 12–18 |
| Posting Group 2 | AL 21–25 |
| Posting Group 1 | AL 25–28 |
Cut-off points move by a few points from year to year, and not every student who met the cut-off was posted here — some are tie-broken out. Read these as a guide to where a school sits, not as a threshold to clear.

What this intake means for the Maths your child will sit
A posting group decides the level a student takes each subject at from Secondary 1, not only which class they are in — and under Full Subject-Based Banding a student who did well enough in a subject at PSLE can take that subject at a more demanding level than their posting group's default. So the score above is the start of the Mathematics your child sits at Beatty Secondary School, not the whole of it.
- Secondary 1 G3 Math syllabus
Posting Group 3 students take Mathematics at G3 by default — the fastest of the three, and the usual route into Additional Mathematics from Secondary 3.
- Secondary 1 G2 Math syllabus
Posting Group 2 students take Mathematics at G2 by default, covering most of the G3 content at a steadier pace.
- Secondary 1 G1 Math syllabus
Posting Group 1 students take Mathematics at G1 by default, building the foundations in smaller steps.
- Secondary Math syllabus, all four years

School Overview
Beatty Secondary School was founded in 1953 along Beatty Road in Toa Payoh, making it one of Singapore's earlier government secondary schools. The school takes its name from Admiral Sir David Beatty, a British naval commander during World War I. Its Latin motto, Non Vi Sed Arte ("Not with force but with skill"), reflects a commitment to thoughtful problem-solving.
Beatty is a co-educational, single-session government school serving students across multiple posting groups. The school's mission centres on developing adaptive thinkers, agile learners, and active contributors, with a vision of nurturing purpose-driven leaders. Two distinctive programmes define Beatty's identity: an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM focused on Cities and Urban Landscapes, which includes coding projects related to smart living, and a Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Community Youth Leadership. Together, these programmes connect classroom learning with practical, real-world applications.
Beatty is also designated to support students with moderate to profound hearing loss through a signing approach and integration with mainstream peers. Special Educational Needs Officers are part of the school's support structure.
Admission Process
Entry to Beatty Secondary School at Secondary 1 is primarily through the PSLE posting exercise or Direct School Admission (DSA).
Based on the 2024 PSLE results for 2025 intake, the indicative cut-off points (COP) were:
- Posting Group 3: 12–17 (non-affiliated)
- Posting Group 2: 21–25 (non-affiliated and affiliated)
- Posting Group 1: 25–28 (non-affiliated and affiliated)
These figures represent the score of the last student admitted in that cycle and may vary each year.
DSA applications typically open from May to June, with trials and interviews conducted between June and September. Beatty accepts DSA applicants in areas including sports (such as badminton, canoeing, and wushu), performing arts (such as choir and dance), and academics or leadership (such as STEM clubs). Students admitted through DSA secure a place regardless of their PSLE score, provided they meet the school's assessment criteria.
Beatty operates under Full Subject-Based Banding (SBB), which allows students to take individual subjects at different levels according to their strengths, rather than being placed in a single stream for all subjects.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Beatty follows the MOE curriculum and prepares students for the GCE O-Level examinations. Core subjects include English, Mathematics (Elementary and Additional), Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), and Humanities (Social Studies combined with Geography or History). Elective options include Art, Music, Principles of Accounts, Design and Technology, Nutrition and Food Science, and higher mother tongue languages in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. Under SBB, students can take subjects at different levels to match their abilities.
The school's STEM-focused ALP gives students hands-on experience with coding and urban planning challenges, and has contributed to achievements such as a first runner-up finish at the National Earthquake Challenge. Performing arts groups have earned Certificates of Distinction at the Singapore Youth Festival. Bilingual education options support students aiming for broader linguistic competence.
For students who want additional support in Mathematics alongside their schoolwork, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the O-Level Mathematics and Additional Mathematics syllabuses.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
Beatty's campus includes smart classrooms with interactive technology, science and computer laboratories, a library, and arts studios. Sports facilities include a field for track events, four badminton courts, and canoeing facilities. The school provides barrier-free access and dedicated support spaces for students with hearing impairments.
More than 20 co-curricular activities (CCAs) are available across four categories:
Sports: Badminton, Canoeing, Football (Boys), Volleyball (Girls), and Wushu.
Uniformed Groups: Boys' Brigade (Boys), Girl Guides (Girls), National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC), Scouts, National Cadet Corps (Land, Boys), and National Civil Defence Cadet Corps (NCDCC).
Performing Arts: Chinese Orchestra, Choir, Concert Band, English Drama, Malay Dance, and Modern Dance.
Clubs and Societies: Infocomm Technology (Media Production), Leadership, and STEM Club.
CCA participation contributes to character development and can also support DSA applications to post-secondary institutions.
Student Life and School Culture
Beatty places emphasis on adaptability, resilience, and community contribution. Class sizes are approximately 40 students, and pastoral care is provided through form teachers, a counselling team, and structured well-being programmes. The school runs anti-bullying initiatives and inclusivity efforts in line with MOE guidelines.
The transition from primary to secondary school is supported through orientation camps and leadership workshops under the Learning for Life Programme. Students are encouraged to develop independent study habits early, as the academic workload increases from Primary 6. Regular well-being check-ins help students manage the adjustment.
The school's community youth leadership programme gives students opportunities to plan and lead service projects, building both confidence and a sense of responsibility toward others.

How DeepThink supports Beatty Secondary School students
G1, G2, G3 Mathematics support for the national secondary pathway at Beatty Secondary School. Classes follow the student's actual Mathematics subject level.
We prepare students for the paper their year sits: O-Level or N-Level, or the Singapore-Cambridge SEC from 2027.
Your child’s posting group sets the level they start Mathematics at. Under Full Subject-Based Banding, they may take it at a different level.
Additional Mathematics support is available for students taking that subject; we check the actual course and assessment requirements.
Classes are capped at 4 students and grouped by learning pace, with practice focused on the gaps shown in schoolwork.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Which Math class suits a Beatty Secondary School student?
We teach Mathematics at G1, G2 or G3. We use the student's current Mathematics course, year and schoolwork to choose a class. Students learn with others studying the same course at a suitable pace.
Does the posting group determine my child's Mathematics class?
It indicates the usual starting subject level, but Full Subject-Based Banding allows students to take subjects at different levels. Tell us the Mathematics level shown on your child's timetable or assessments so lessons match what they actually study.
When should a secondary student start tuition?
Start when schoolwork reveals gaps in understanding or confidence. Earlier support can strengthen algebra and problem-solving foundations; students joining later can focus on their current topics and assessments.
What makes DeepThink different for Beatty Secondary School students?
Small classes, teaching matched to the student's actual Mathematics course, and practice that develops clear working as well as correct answers. Parents are kept informed about progress and areas needing more practice.
How many students are in each class?
Four, at most. Students are grouped by learning pace, not just by year level, so each lesson moves at the speed of the students actually in it. When no class matches a child’s pace, we open a new one. In a class that size, every child answers questions, gets their working checked, and gets help the moment they need it.
Can families start with a trial class first?
Yes. A trial class helps you see whether our teaching pace and approach suit your child. Trials in existing classes are free. If no class suits your timing, we can arrange a 1-to-1 trial at another time for $30.
