SINGAPORE \u2013 A total of 73 primary schools will conduct balloting for places in Phase 2C, the latest stage in the Primary 1 registration process<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of these schools, 72 are oversubscribed, while one \u2013 Opera Estate Primary School \u2013 is not but will hold balloting for permanent resident (PR) applicants.<\/p>\n

This year, a total of 79 schools are oversubscribed, meaning they have received more applications than there are vacancies.<\/p>\n

Seven of these schools will not conduct balloting as they will admit children only up to a certain priority category.<\/p>\n

These schools are St Margaret\u2019s School (Primary), Yangzheng Primary School, Canossa Catholic Primary School, Punggol Primary School, Keming Primary School, Tanjong Katong Primary School and Alexandra Primary School.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Education (MOE) updated the latest registration figures on its website on Aug 5 for Phase 2C, which ended on July 30 at 4.30pm.<\/p>\n

Results for this phase will be out on Aug 11.<\/p>\n

Vacancies for the next stage, Phase 2C Supplementary, will also be released at 1pm on the same day.<\/p>\n

This phase is the last one for the 2026 Primary 1 registration exercise.<\/p>\n

Registration for Phase 2C Supplementary will open at 9am on Aug 17 and close at 4.30pm on Aug 18. Results for this phase will be out on Aug 27.<\/p>\n

Princess Elizabeth Primary School in Bukit Batok is the most oversubscribed in Phase 2C, with 159 applicants vying for 40 spots.<\/p>\n

It is followed by Northland Primary School in Yishun, which has 141 applicants vying for 42 spots, and Nan Hua Primary School in Clementi, with 123 applicants for 41 spots.<\/p>\n

MOE said 55.3 per cent of its schools will not conduct balloting in Phase 2C, which is open to children who have no prior links to the school.<\/p>\n

Opera Estate Primary School, which was not oversubscribed, will hold a ballot for PR children residing outside 2km of the school. This is because it has a cap on its intake of PR children.<\/p>\n

In oversubscribed schools, priority admission is given to children in this order:<\/p>\n
