Tanglin Trust School
Deborah and Chris Hurd, British;
Emilia (11), Oliver (8) and Eloise (5)
We’ve had children at Tanglin for the
past eight years: Emilia since Reception,
and Oliver and Eloise since Nursery. Our
eldest was only three when we arrived
in Singapore, so she attended a local
kindergarten while we took our time to
choose the right school for her. Tanglin
came well recommended, and obviously
has a long history here.
All three children are very happy and
are progressing extremely well. The school
has many selling points, like its British
curriculum and great facilities, but for us
the quality of teaching really comes out on
top. The dedication and enthusiasm of all
the staff is second to none, and contribute
to a well-structured but caring environment
in which children can build on their natural
strengths while acquiring new skills.
Over our time at Tanglin, the school has
continued to develop and improve every
year, always striving to be better than
before. A big highlight for our two older
children was the MasterChef Kitchen,
built last year. Both have been lucky
enough to use this facility and thoroughly
enjoyed every aspect of cooking, made
all the better by the wonderful array of
equipment.
Our eldest daughter, Emilia, cannot wait
to move to the Senior School in August.
Having been taken on a tour of the school
by a senior student and seen its impressive
academic results, we fully appreciate
her enthusiasm. Oliver loves PE, as he
gets to experience all different types
of sport including gymnastics, football,
rock climbing and athletics; the school
strikes a good balance between activities
inside and outside the classroom. Having
come through from Nursery, Eloise has
benefitted from many areas of learning
and play, and we are very pleased with her
progress, especially in reading.
We look forward to all three children
continuing to further their education and
development at Tanglin for as long as we
remain in Singapore.
