Serangoon Secondary School is a government secondary school in Upper Serangoon Road, Singapore.
The school started as Serangoon English School in 1928, housed in a two-storey building in Simon Road. At that time, it had only seven classes with a head-mistress and seven teachers. It was the only government co-educational school in the Crown Colony then and also a feeder school to Raffles Institution. In 1937, three standards were added and with this, the school provided education up to Secondary Three in present-day terms. The boys and girls who successfully completed Standard Eight then went on to Raffles Institution and Raffles Girls’ School respectively. With the formation of the first School Certificate class in 1949, the school became a full school offering education from Primary One to Cambridge School Certificate.
In 1958, the school became a secondary schooland seven years later, the first Pre-University class was formed. This section soon extended to include two Pre-University One classes and two Pre-University Two classes.
The school shifted to Lowland Road in 1967 and also changed its name to Serangoon Secondary School. In 1976, owing to the establishment of Junior Colleges for Pre-University students, the Pre-University section of the school was closed.
In 2001, the school made yet another move to its present premises at 11 Upper Serangoon View.
Serangoon Secondary School has a niche for its uniformed groups. Serangoon Eagle Scout Group has achieved Frank Cooper Sands Award since 2000 and won the Gold Award from 2008 onwards.
