Which Schools Are Close to Newport Residences?

Published 23 October 2026

The Nearest Schools to Newport Residences

The nearest primary school to Newport Residences is Cantonment Primary School, about 470 metres from the site in a straight line on OneMap. The developer’s location map names it under work and learning, together with CHIJ (Kellock), a girls’ primary school about 1.7 kilometres away, and Outram Secondary School is about 1.6 kilometres away.

Because Newport Residences shares one address, every home in the tower is the same distance from each school, whichever storey or stack it is on.

Measured on OneMap (SLA) from the site; walking routes are longer. Confirm with the MOE SchoolFinder.

Primary Schools Within Reach of Newport Residences

Cantonment Primary School, about 470 metres from the site, stands near the Pinnacle@Duxton, the public housing towers with their skybridges above Cantonment Road, which are about 490 metres away. Of the schools the developer names, it is the closest to the tower, a short walk away.

The developer’s map groups the neighbourhood in four: parks and recreation, arts and culture, retail and dining, and work and learning, the group in which the schools appear alongside the CBD and the Marina Bay Financial District. CHIJ (Kellock), about 1.7 kilometres to the west, is the second primary school on that map. With the Circle Line now running as a full loop from Prince Edward Road and Cantonment stations, and the East-West Line at Tanjong Pagar, schools across the island are a short ride away.

Primary One Registration and Newport Residences

For Primary One registration, priority depends on the home-school distance measured by the Singapore Land Authority. The distances on this site are straight lines measured on OneMap from the site, so families should confirm the figure for a particular address with the MOE SchoolFinder before registration.

Timing helps here. The developer gives 1 March 2030 as the expected date of vacant possession, which leaves families time to plan a move around the school calendar; the dates that apply to a particular home are set out in its sale and purchase agreement, and the payment scheme page sets out the stages to completion. The Sales Concierge can send the floor plans and a payment schedule for any home on the shortlist, so the timing of a move can be weighed against the school year.

Secondary Schools Near Newport Residences

Outram Secondary School, on York Hill, is about 1.6 kilometres from the site in a straight line. With the East-West Line at Tanjong Pagar and the Circle Line at Prince Edward Road and Cantonment, the schools along the Circle Line and the Bukit Timah corridor are within a short train ride.

Tanjong Pagar station’s Exit A is about 380 metres from the site, and from there the East-West Line runs west through Outram Park, where the North East Line and the Thomson-East Coast Line connect. Prince Edward Road station, reached by the link bridge towards it, has its Exit 1 about 220 metres away.

Two further stations widen the choice. Cantonment station’s Exit 3 is about 610 metres from the site, on the Circle Line, and Maxwell station’s Exit 3 about 770 metres, on the Thomson-East Coast Line towards Outram Park, Orchard and Woodlands, both straight lines on OneMap.
