PSLE cut-off point for Bendemeer Secondary School
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.

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 Bendemeer 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
Bendemeer Secondary School began operations on 3 January 1977, initially using the premises of Beng Wan Primary School before relocating to its permanent campus. The school was officially opened in 1979 and currently enrols approximately 1,800 students. It is a government co-educational institution with no primary school affiliations.
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 Process
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. These figures reflect the score of the last admitted student in that cycle and may shift from year to year.
The school participates in the Direct School Admission (DSA) scheme, with places available in Football for both boys and girls. Students interested in DSA should submit their applications through the MOE DSA portal, which typically opens around mid-year.
Bendemeer operates under the Full Subject-Based Banding (SBB) system, which allows students to take subjects at different levels (G1, G2, G3) according to their individual strengths. The school offers Express, Normal (Academic), and Normal (Technical) tracks, leading to the GCE O-Level or N-Level examinations. There is no Integrated Programme (IP) at Bendemeer.
Open houses are generally held between May and June. Families considering Bendemeer are encouraged to attend these events to view the campus and speak with staff.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The academic programme at Bendemeer follows the MOE syllabus and covers core subjects including English Language, Elementary Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, the Sciences, and Humanities. Elective options include Principles of Accounts, Literature, Nutrition and Food Science, Art, Design and Technology, and Higher Mother Tongue Languages in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. Through Subject-Based Banding, students can take individual subjects at higher or lower levels to suit their abilities.
The school has received the MOE Academic Value-Add Award, recognising consistent progress in GCE O-Level results. Students have also achieved Gold medals in the Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad (SASMO) at upper secondary levels. The Applied Learning Programme integrates healthcare technology projects into the curriculum, giving students practical exposure to STEM applications.
Families seeking additional support in Mathematics may consider DeepThink, a specialist math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the O-Level and N-Level syllabuses, which some Bendemeer students have found useful for reinforcing classroom learning.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The campus includes smart classrooms with interactive technology, a well-resourced library, dedicated science and computer laboratories, and a multi-purpose sports complex with fields for football and track events.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are a core part of school life, with over 20 options across four categories:
Sports and Games: Football, Tchoukball, Cross Country, and Taekwondo (all open to boys and girls).
Uniformed Groups: Girl Guides, National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC), Red Cross Youth, and National Cadet Corps (NCC) Land.
Performing Arts: Choir, Concert Band, Modern Dance, and English Drama.
Clubs and Societies: Infocomm Technology (Media Production) and Robotics, the latter linked to the school's ALP in STEM.
The school's football programme has been particularly active, with the B Division team winning the Football League 2 championship in 2024. CCA participation also supports DSA applications for prospective students.
Student Life and School Culture
Bendemeer runs a single-session timetable, with school hours starting at 7:40 AM and ending at approximately 2:00 PM.

How DeepThink supports Bendemeer Secondary School students
G1, G2, G3 Mathematics support for the national secondary pathway at Bendemeer 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 Bendemeer 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 Bendemeer 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.
