History

Naval Base Primary School (NBPS) was established in 1988 as a government co-educational school. The school operated from its holding site at Peiying Primary School before moving to its present premises at Yishun Avenue 4 in July 1988.

The first School Advisory Committee was formed in 1990, and NBPS was officially opened the following year. The school was among the first batch of schools to undergo PRIME in 1999. NBPS held a symbolic walk from the holding school at Northbrooks Secondary School back to its current premises on the last day of school in 2001. That same year, the school became single-session.

Golf was introduced as a co-curricular activity in 2003 and was then seen as the school’s niche area under the Programme for School Excellence. NBPS celebrated its 25th anniversary with the Tiger Cubs Challenge, a golf tournament, in 2013. In 2015, the school was accorded the Learning for Life Programme in Holistic Outdoor Physical Education and Sports. The programme aims to develop 21st-century competencies in students. While the school’s core values are strengthened through co-curricular platforms, outdoor adventure experiences build character and qualities that help to foster entrepreneurial dare.

In 2018, Naval Base Primary School underwent PERI upgrading and celebrated its 30th anniversary. The Ministry of Education Kindergarten @ Naval Base will begin operations in 2020.
