School History

Bukit Merah North School was founded on 10 January 1955. The school held classes in Crescent Girls’ School and Delta East School before moving to its campus at Redhill Close in 1956.

Between 1957 and 1959, the school had two different Principals for morning and afternoon sessions respectively but reverted to one Principal for both sessions from 1960.

In 1986, Bukit Merah North School merged with Bukit Merah South School and Redhill Primary School to become Bukit Merah Primary School. In 1998, Bukit Merah Primary School merged with Alexandra Hill Primary School and shifted into the campus of the latter. The former site of Bukit Merah Primary School has since been used for Gan Eng Seng Primary School and Bukit Merah Secondary School.
