Saint Andrew's Junior School (SAJS) started of as the Lower School of St. Andrew's School after World War 2. After being renamed in 1956, the school was split into two schools, but were combined in 1990.
The school was then forced to relocate to a site in Potong Pasir because of noise pollution caused by the recently upgraded Pan-Island Expressway. The school was relocated in 1996 and the new school building was declared open by the then Minister for Education, Rear-Admiral Teo Chee Hean, in 1997.
Following plans for the St Andrew's Village, the school was temporarily relocated to the old Lee Kuo Chuan Primary building at 9 Ah Hood Road. The school recently moved to new buildings at its original Potong Pasir site in December 2004.
