P1 Registration 2021: Phase 2B (Updated!)
29/7/21
MOE has finally released the results of Phase 2B. A total of 28 schools have been oversubscribed:
- Admiralty
- Ai Tong
- Anglo-Chinese School (Primary)
- Anglo-Chinese School (Junior)
- Catholic High
- CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh)
- CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’
- Chongfu
- Fairfield Methodist
- Henry Park
- Holy Innocents’
- Kong Hwa
- Maha Bodhi
- Maris Stellar High
- Methodist Girls’ School
- Nan Chiau
- Nan Hua
- Nanyang
- Northland
- Pei Chun Public
- Pei Hwa Presbyterian
- Rosyth
- Rulang
- Singapore Chinese Girls’
- South View
- St Hilda’s
- St Joseph’s Institution Junior
- Tao Nan
Amongst these, Tao Nan remained the most heavily oversubscribed at 285%.
Many schools have been filled with a take-up-rate (TUR) of 90% or more, with Nanyang at a whopping 95%. These schools are almost guaranteed to require balloting within 1km in the next Phase 2C.
Fairfield Methodist escaped balloting as its places are exactly filled by those Singaporeans living within 1km. This shows how important it is to stay very close to the school when applying in P1 registration.
CHIJ (Katong) has the greatest increase of 17 applicants over last year, while Canberra‘s intake dropped by a whopping 55 applicants.
Good luck to parents who have to ballot in this Phase. This is really the last Phase for you to gamble. In Phase 2C, it is time to wake up to reality and put your child in the closest school that you have some chance of succeeding. Not the “dream” school.
26/7/21
The first day of Phase 2B has ended and here are the results. Already 19 schools have been oversubscribed:
- Admiralty
- Ai Tong
- Anglo-Chinese Primary
- Catholic High
- CHIJ Primary (ToaT Payoh)
- CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’
- Chongfu
- Holy Innocents’
- Methodist Girls’ School
- Nan Chiau
- Nan Hua
- Nanyang
- Northland
- Pei Chun Public
- Pei Hwa Presbyterian
- Rosyth
- South View
- St Hilda’s
- Tao Nan
Amongst these, Tao Nan has the highest take-up-rate (TUR) of 260%.
But I’m sure this is just the tip of the ice-berg, and we shall see the actual demand on the final day of bidding. To get a feel of what might come, refer to the number of applicants in last year’s Phase 2B (2020 APP). For some cases, eg. Catholic High, even though the number of applicants have already exceeded the number of vacancies available, it is likely more people would try for the school. Last year, there were 41 applicants trying their luck for this school. The same thing is true for Nanyang.
For other schools like Nan Hua, the first day demand of 24 applicants is already higher than last year’s Phase 2B applicants of just 19 applicants.
The ‘surprise’ this year is Admiralty. This is the first year it is oversubscribed in Phase 2B, but judging from growing interest in the school over the last few years, it is not really surprising!
25/7/21
Phase 2B of the 2021 P1 Registration period is almost upon us, so it is time to look at your chances. This is the first Phase in which someone without an affiliation to the school can get their kid into the school, by working as a PV or being associated by virtue of religion or public service.
We have published last year’s numbers in the chart below, under 2020 APP, which shows the actual raw number of applicants who applied in this Phase for the school. It should serve as a guide to you as you monitor the applications. The By Cohort column indicates if the number of vacancies in the school was increased or decreased by MOE.
We will continue to monitor the situation as it progresses.
