Saint Andrew's Junior School (SAJS) is a government-aided boys' primary school in Potong Pasir, Singapore. The school started as the Lower School of Saint Andrew's School after World War II. 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.Mrs Prike Wai Yin replaced Ms Poh Chwee Sian as the school principal in January 2004.In 2005 the school moved back to Potong Pasir togheter with the secondary school.It also held its first balloting exercise for places in the school in 2006
