Top Percussion Schools in Singapore (SYF Distinction) and All 8 Schools by Cut-off
8 of the 139 Singapore secondary schools with cut-offs offer Percussion as a CCA (6%). Schools with recent national results come first. If your child wants to keep doing Percussion, these are the schools to choose from.
The tables group the schools by their 2025 PG3 cut-off. Find the band that contains your child's PSLE score. Each cell is the range of scores admitted that year; the number on the right is the cut-off (the last student admitted), and a smaller number is harder to get into. "—" means the school does not take that posting group. At exactly the cut-off, citizens go first, so PRs and international students should leave 1 more point.

Before you choose
- CCAs change from year to year. This list comes from data.gov.sg school information (2026 edition); if a CCA is your reason for choosing a school, confirm on its website that it still runs.
- If your child is already strong in Percussion, Direct School Admission (DSA) lets schools admit students on talent before the PSLE results, outside the cut-off. MOE SchoolFinder shows which schools list Percussion as a DSA talent area.
