SINGAPORE: One primary school will not be accepting any children of alumni in this year’s Primary 1 registration exercise – Canossa Catholic Primary School.
According to data released by the Ministry of Education (MOE) on Wednesday (Jul 8), there are 867 fewer spots in Phase 2A across all primary schools.
MOE cut the Primary 1 intake for most schools earlier this year in view of significantly falling student cohort sizes in 2027 and the coming years.
At the time, MOE said the cuts would minimise the need for school mergers or relocations and maintain a good geographical spread of primary schools for students across Singapore.
Canossa Catholic Primary School, which has 120 spaces in total, saw 61 students apply in Phase 1, which is for students whose siblings are currently in the school.
With 60 spaces reserved for Phases 2B and 2C, it means there is no open spot in Phase 2A, which is predominantly for children of alumni.
