PSLE cut-off point for Compassvale Secondary School
MOE publishes the PSLE score of the first and the last student posted into each school at each posting group. Below are Compassvale 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 14–18 |
| Posting Group 2 | AL 21–24 |
| Posting Group 1 | AL 25–27 |
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 Compassvale 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
Compassvale Secondary School is a government co-educational school located in Sengkang. It began operations on 2 January 2000 and reached its 25th anniversary in 2025. The school does not have affiliations with any primary school, and it admits students from all backgrounds.
The school motto is "Realising the Star Within," reflecting its focus on helping each student develop confidence, commitment, creativity, and compassion. Two signature programmes define Compassvale's educational approach: the Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM, themed around the Future of Transportation and incorporating Aeronautics, Coding, Engineering, and Sustainability (ACES); and the Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Community Youth Leadership, delivered through the Green Compass initiative. Together, these programmes provide students with hands-on exposure to technology and environmental responsibility.
Admission Process
Places at Compassvale Secondary School are allocated through the MOE Secondary 1 posting exercise, based on PSLE Achievement Level (AL) scores. As a non-affiliated school, there is no priority admission from feeder primary schools.
For the 2025 intake, the indicative PSLE cut-off scores were: Posting Group 1 at AL 27, Posting Group 2 at AL 24, and Posting Group 3 at AL 18. These figures reflect the scores of the last admitted students and may shift in future years depending on applicant demand.
The school also participates in Direct School Admission (DSA), accepting applicants with strengths in areas such as badminton, floorball, modern dance, choir, and leadership. DSA applications are submitted through the MOE portal, typically between May and June.
Compassvale implements Full Subject-Based Banding (FSBB), which allows students to take individual subjects at different levels based on their aptitudes, rather than being placed into a single stream. The school does not offer the Integrated Programme; students follow pathways leading to the GCE O-Level examinations.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The academic programme at Compassvale follows the MOE curriculum framework, covering core and elective subjects. Core subjects include English Language, Mathematics (Elementary and Additional), Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Combined Science options), and Humanities (Social Studies, Geography, History, and Literature). Mother tongue languages offered are Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. Elective subjects span Art, Design and Technology, Nutrition and Food Science, Electronics, Computer Applications, and Computing.
Under FSBB, students can take subjects at G1, G2, or G3 levels according to their strengths, creating individualised learning pathways. The ACES ALP provides applied STEM learning through projects related to aeronautics, coding, and sustainability.
The school has posted strong examination results. In the 2021 GCE O-Level examinations, 91.3% of Secondary 4 Express students achieved five or more subject passes, and 59.5% qualified for junior college admission. Students have also earned recognition in external competitions, including a Bronze award at the Ngee Ann Polytechnic Math Challenge in 2025.
Families looking to supplement their child's Mathematics preparation may consider DeepThink, a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the O-Level syllabus and suited to students at various ability levels.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The school campus includes classrooms fitted with interactive learning technology, science laboratories, computer labs, a library, a sports complex, and arts studios. Upgrades tied to the school's 25th anniversary have incorporated environmentally conscious features such as solar panels and green spaces.
Compassvale offers more than 20 Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) across several categories:
Sports: Badminton, Netball, Floorball, Softball, and Basketball.
Uniformed Groups: Boys' Brigade, Girl Guides, National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC), Red Cross Youth, and National Cadet Corps (Air).
Performing Arts: Choir, Modern Dance, English Drama, and Concert Band.
Clubs and Societies: Robotics, Environmental Science, STEM-Aeronautics, Aero-modelling, Media Resource Library, and Community Service.
CCA participation supports character development, teamwork, and leadership. Many of these activities also align with the school's DSA categories for incoming students.
Student Life and School Culture
School culture at Compassvale centres on inclusivity and pastoral care. The school provides dedicated counsellors and follows MOE guidelines on student well-being, including resilience programmes and anti-bullying measures.
The LLP's Green Compass initiative gives students opportunities to take on leadership roles through environmental and community service projects, reinforcing the school's values of compassion and service.
For students transitioning into secondary school, the school runs orientation camps designed to help them build friendships and adjust to the new environment. Parents of incoming students often find it helpful to establish structured routines early, encourage participation in CCAs for social connection, and support their child in developing time management skills to balance academics and activities.

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