Registration phase

Phase 2C: every child not yet registered. Most families apply here. Who qualifies (MOE)

Citizenship
Home–school distance
Very likelyModel estimate · everyone placed last time

In 2025, Citizens living within 1 km all got places in Phase 2C; the ballot was only for Singapore Citizens living 1–2 km away.

Based on how the phase went last time; demand changes every year. You can only register in a phase your child is eligible for, and in one school per phase.

Places left for each phase after the earlier ones; MOE doesn't publish Phase 1 applicant numbers. The 2025 exercise was for children starting P1 in 2026.

2027 rule change: Phase 2C reserved places rise from 40 to 60 at schools with 180 or more P1 places, including this one (270 places). Past years may understate your chances in 2C.
