The uniform consist of a collared white button-up shirt/blouse and sky-blue shorts/skirt depending on gender. There is a pocket on the left breast. The school crest is sewn upon the breast pocket. Coloured nametags depending on level are to be sewn just above said pocket. Each new batch are given a colour(usually the colour of the previous year's graduating batch) for their personalised nametags which move up the grades with them for all six years in the school. The nametag scheme was introduced in 1998.

[edit] School History
The "country club"-style school was opened on January 2, 1988, a year after its completion. The first batch of students attending the school were gathered from all around Singapore and constituted elementary grades one to five. The school was officially opened by Mr Ng Pock Too, Nee Soon Central Constituency MP, on 17th April 1990.
In year 2002, a special CCA called Spin (Society for Pupils's Innovation & Entrepreneurship) was established to promote entrepreneurship among pupils in the Yishun schools. The members of Spin mostly sold second-hand items such as stationery and photo frames.
Northland Primary School has shown above average scores on the Primary School Leaving Examination(PSLE) during every year of its existence.
