Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) is the original primary school of the ACS family, located at the Barker Road campus adjacent to the ACS (Barker Road) block. It opened in 1887 with the secondary school at Coleman Street, moving to a newly upgraded Coleman Street campus in 1961, leaving the Barker Road campus to be used for secondary and pre-university classes. In 1985, the Junior School moved to 25 Peck Hay Road, while the Primary school continued lessons at Canning Rise until 1994. It merged with the Barker Road school in that year, but in December 1998 was relocated temporarily to 9 Ah Hood Road while wating for the completion of the Barker Road campus rebuilding project. It moved back to Barker Road on 4 December 2002.
Its students sit for the local PSLE in Primary 6 and have the option to move on to the ACS Secondary Schools with affiliation favours.
The current principal is Mr. Richard Lim Chew Hiong.
The school's current Head Prefect is Tan Wen Bin and its Deputy Head Prefects are Antariksh Mahajan and Ng Kim Yeow. Their duties include gathering prefects to volunteer for school events and enforcing school rules.
Carnival ACS 2, also known as A Family A'Fair, is the second major carnival event held in ACS (Barker Road) and ACS (Primary). It was held on the 30 June 2007 at ACS (Barker Road) and ACS (Primary) campus. The reason for this carnival was to raise funds to improve ACS (Barker Road)'s infrastructure.
