==Ethos==
A British observer has commented that St Andrew's is highly regarded for its sporting trophies as well as its academic results, and that "With its passion for rugby and cricket, and more than a hint of what used to be called 'muscular Christianity', it probably comes as close as any [school in Singapore] to the authentic ethos of a traditional British boys' school, encapsulated in the splendid School Song".<ref>[http://www.corpun.com/usscr2c.htm "St Andrew's Secondary School"] at World Corporal Punishment Research.</ref>

Students and former students are known as "Saints".

Although St Andrew's is an Anglican school, students do not have to be Christians.<ref>[http://www.asiaone.com/News/Education/Story/A1Story20090821-162552.html "Interests came first in choice of schools"], ''The Sunday Times'' (Singapore ), 23 August 2009.</ref>

The school badge includes the cross of St Andrew (the Scottish flag). The school motto is "Up And On", the title of the School Song.

The official heraldic description of the badge is as follows: 
<br>Azure, a saltire argent, in chief keys, in base a tiger's face 
<br>Crest: on a wreath of the colours a torch
<br>Colours are representative of the Patron Saint of Scotland, Saint Andrew.

The two gold keys refer to Saint Peter's Key, while the white cross refers to the cross of Saint Andrew. They symbolize righteousness. The tiger is a signature trademark of Saint Andrew's, signifying ferocity and endurance.

There is a school newsletter, ''Saints Times''. Every year the school also produces a school magazine which was called '"Up and On" in the earlier years, after the school motto.<ref>[http://newspapers.nl.sg/Digitised/Article.aspx?articleid=straitstimes19340430.2.84 "No title"], ''The Straits Times'', 30 April 1934.</ref>
