Why does she not want to go there?
my elder girl is studying at a MK kindergarten. She said she don’t want to go to that affiliated primary school.
And where does she want to go? Does she have a school in mind? -

I am curious to know the MK school and the parents’ target school
I could accept your daughter's idea of not wanting to go the school next door, but is it really a case of no schools nearby? For your target school, is it really that exceptional that you have to go through the whole works just for a chance to ballot? -
@mummyvolk
Don't mean to generalize but children are fickle and change their minds all the time. She could be bored of the current MK environment and hence said she prefers to go elsewhere cos its somewhere new. But if she does get into the target school, she might actually miss the familiarity of the MK environment and miss her friends since I presume most of her friends will enroll in that primary school. The MK carrot is too good to just let go for the hassle involved to move to somewhere for a chance to ballot at Phase 2C.
But if you really don't wanna enroll her in the MK school, perhaps show her websites of other schools within your area that offer much better odds at 2C.
Good Luck!!

Hello,
New here, and starting to look at NYPS for my daughter P1 registration. However, we don’t stay <1 km and in that no sibling/alumni/PV category.
Read someone managed to rent and buy at <1 km from NYPS and got in. Is the distance proximity a strong consideration even if the rest (sibling/alumni/PV) are not favorable? -

If you have no other priority, phase 2C is the only phase you can aim for. To have a chance of balloting in Phase 2C for NYPS, you will need to be living within 1km. You have about 1 in 4 chance of being successful.

In other words, you can rent or buy <1km to get a lucky draw chance. 1 in 4 chance of your ticket being picked. The remaining 75% of applicants will fail & go to next phase 2CS at another school elsewhere that still has vacancies.

At least there's a real (but small) chance. -

I’m just thinking of 6 months + 1 month. Of cos if successful, must continue to pay more and more.
