Secondary Math support for Bendemeer Secondary School students: Mathematics at G1, G2 or G3. Lessons match the student's course and learning pace.
Established on January 3, 1977, Bendemeer Secondary School has grown into a cornerstone of Singapore’s educational landscape. The school was founded in 1979. DeepThink supports Bendemeer Secondary School students in Mathematics at G1, G2 or G3, with lessons matched to their current course.
MOE publishes the PSLE score of the first and the last student posted into each school at each posting group. Below are Bendemeer 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 11–22 |
| Posting Group 2 | AL 22–25 |
| 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.

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 Bendemeer Secondary School, not the whole of it.
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.
Posting Group 2 students take Mathematics at G2 by default, covering most of the G3 content at a steadier pace.
Posting Group 1 students take Mathematics at G1 by default, building the foundations in smaller steps.

The school operates under the motto "From Each His Best" and centres its educational approach on developing values-driven young people who aspire to lead and serve with purpose. Two distinctive programmes define the school's identity: the Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM, which focuses on Emerging Technologies for Healthcare, and the Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Community Youth Leadership, which cultivates student ownership through Values in Action (VIA) initiatives beginning from Secondary 1.
Admission to Bendemeer Secondary School is primarily through the PSLE posting exercise. Based on the 2024 intake, the indicative Achievement Level (AL) cut-off points for non-affiliated students were: Posting Group 3: 8–22, Posting Group 2: 22–25, and Posting Group 1: 25–28.

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.
The programme
We start with the Mathematics your child is studying now. Lessons revisit gaps, build clear reasoning and practise questions suited to their current course and assessments.
Grouped by course and learning pace
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
