Croydon South Primary School was built in 1967, and was located on Belmont Road West, Croydon South. In July 2008, it was proposed that Croydon South Primary School and Tinternvale Primary School merge and be located on the site of Tinternvale, due to falling enrolments at Croydon South. The merger occurred at the start of the 2009 school year. The Education Department agreed to a large increase in funding for the merger at the Tinternvale site and to bring the newly merged school into line with current standards. Following the merger, Tinternvale Primary School had around 410 students.
