2020 P1 Registration Exercise for 2021 In-take

[WindowMum558]

Hi floppy,


Your analysis is impressive.
Need your expertise too. We are SPR, living in Tampines Ave 9. I need to register P1 for my son this year in Phase 2C.

School <1km:
1. St. Hilda’s Primary School
2. Poi Ching Primary School

School 1-2km:
3. Gongshang Primary School
4. Junyuan Primary School
5. Tampines Primary School
6. Tampines North Primary School

In no doubt, we are sure that we wont be able to get into the first 2 primary schools. We are not sure

Could you advise we will have the chance for any primary schools within 1-2km? Or we have to go outside of 2km?

Thank you so much.

Thanks for the compliment.

In your case, you are right that you have no chance for the first two and you can include no chance for Gongshang as well.

Junyuan and Tampines typically require ballotIng for PR. The important factor that you have to consider is balloting for which distance. If it’s < 1km this year, you’re out. FYI, Junyuan ballots for PR < 1km last year while Tampines ballots for PR between 1km and 2km. It could probably be the same this year. Tampines North will have spaces left over for Phase 2CS and most likely, Phase 3 as well.

For PR, I would advocate avoidance of balloting in Phase 2C as places are usually limited in Phase 2CS and given that SC has absolute priority, PR can be severely handicapped. However, given that Tampines North will usually have plenty of places left, you can consider:
1. Ballot for a place in Tampines (or Junyuan, but Junyuan will require active monitoring - not for the faint hearted) In Phase 2C
2. Failing which, apply for a place in Tampines North in Phase 2CS

Just curious, for those who registered their kids in alumni phase 2A and then decided to withdraw later to try another school at 2C, how are these seats given back to the school? Say 3 withdrew… then how to divide them between 2B and 2C of the former school?

Many thanks for your quick response, floppy.

I am really lost, while initially was thinking of Changkat Primary School, coz i stayed just nearby before i moved. But since there is a cap introduced, the chance is pretty slim for SPR staying >2km.

Hi, I need some advice here. My daughter is a Singaporean but she only eligible to register in phase 2C.


Here is the schools nearby where we stay

- Schools within 1km:
1. East Spring Primary school

- Schools between 1-2km
1. Angsana primary school
2. Chong Zheng primary school
3. Gong Shang primary school
4. Pasir Ris primary school
5. White Sands primary school
6. Yumin Primary school

I don’t really prefer East Spring so I am thinking to choose among - Chong Zheng, Gong Shang, Pasir Ris or White Sands. But i guess these schools would require ballot even for SC between 1-2km, am I right? Can anyone advise which school we stand higher chance of admission during phase 2C? Thank you in advance.

As 2B is over by then, should all go to 2C.

Thanks Davischew…

Which school you think is better other than Nan Chiau?
Due current Covid’19 pandemic, they will not have open house and I don’t even have chance to visit the school to understand more. Really in dilemma.

Cannot everything also blame Covid la.


Many parents have done their homework years in advance.
