[Tampines] Primary Schools

We just found out that Tampi North still has available slots. Can we still withdraw our registration from Meridian Pri tomorrow and register at Tampi North? Thanks!

Are you staying within 1km of Tampines North? If yes, then you can consider withdrawing and register. But you have to calculate the risk involved.

I’ m thinking of register my gal into TPS for next year 2013 but I am staying in Bedok Reservoir Road. According to the map measurement, my location is abt 5km.


I was wondering do I have any chances to get into this school? Am I under phase 2C or phase 2CS?

Based on this year's statistics, you are safe in P2C. But, why do you want to choose this school? Is this the nearest school from your house?

If you or your spouse did not previously graduate from the school, are not PV or GRL, your child falls under P2C. Only when your child is unable to secure a place in P2C will she be under P2CS.

I was wondering - do I have any chances to go into this school?
Am I under phase 2C or phase 2CS? Pls advise, Thank you!

you'll come under Phase 2C “more than 2 km” category –
since your location is about 5 km from Tampines primary school.
Yes! under 2C, got vacancies for Tampines primary this year.

first, you target schools in Phase 2C.
only when encounter no more vacancy left in 2C (ie. full house), then only move into next Phase 2C Supp.

may read up P1 Registration rules:-
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/phases/

are you an SC or PR ?
if you're SC, why do you want to choose Tampines primary ?

if you're SC, in fact:-
you can actually shortlist other primary schools - better than Tampines primary.
You’re classified under “greater than 2km” catergory.

Hi,


My son is an International Student and was not able to get into Opera Estate Primary School at Phase 3 registration. He has now been allocated to Tampinese North Primary School.

Just a couple of questions I would like to ask parents with children in the school:
1. What are the class sizes like in TNPS?
2. Are there many international students in the school?

Thanks!

Hi SHMof3,

The size per class in TNPS is around 25 - 30 students and yes there are quite a few international students in TNPS but unable to quote you how big this group is.
