If your child is born between 2 January 2018 and 1 January 2019, then yes, you should take part in this year&rsquo;s primary 1 registration exercise. The Ministry of Education (MOE) will provide <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">full details</a> by May 2024, and the registration process will typically begin in July. Do note that registrations are now <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/faq?categoryid=2662B55F532E40368F35394CD97CD2E5&amp;faqid=338150F1F0A04E1D96EA5D422C39DA1B" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fully online</a>, and that in-person registrations at individual schools will not be accepted.
As this is a milestone event for local children, many parents have already been doing some advance planning behind the scenes, in order to ensure that their children can register for &lsquo;good&rsquo; schools. But don&rsquo;t worry if you&rsquo;re only starting to explore your options now &mdash;&nbsp;there is still time, and there are <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/schoolfinder?journey=Primary%20school" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over 180 primary schools</a> in Singapore, so there will be several choices for your child. Use our guide to open up discussions with your family, and most importantly, involve your child in choosing the school where they will spend the next six years.&nbsp;
<h2>What are the Best Primary Schools in Singapore?</h2>
This is a top question from Singaporean parents, with no straightforward answers.
We&rsquo;ve long moved away from using Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) results to assess a school&rsquo;s quality. Data relating to PSLE results is not freely available, and parents are also strongly encouraged not to share internal data with others. If you hope for your child to attain a single-digit PSLE score, the general tip is to aim to enter the top class for any school that your child enrols in &mdash;&nbsp;students will typically be sorted by exam performance in the upper primary years.
Currently, websites that rank primary schools rely on registration data to gauge a school&rsquo;s popularity, and the assumption is that oversubscribed schools must be better in some way. However, the high demand for places could also be due to circumstantial factors such as location and the population density of a neighbourhood.
As experienced parents, what we can tell you for sure is that schools with affiliations to secondary schools have a clear advantage &mdash;&nbsp;they offer a safety net for their students. Some primary schools such as Anglo-Chinese School and St Joseph&rsquo;s Institution Junior have affiliations to two secondary schools, ensuring that students will be able to enrol in at least one of them, no matter how they perform at the PSLE.&nbsp;
If your child has had a good experience in primary school, they will likely look forward to seeing familiar faces in secondary school. Additionally, some schools like Methodist Girls&rsquo; School have both their primary and secondary schools at the same location, making the transition to Secondary 1 much more fuss-free.&nbsp;
For children who are disappointed by their PSLE results, entering an affiliated secondary school can shield them from unwanted questions and judgement. This makes it easier to build their confidence based on their unique strengths. Affiliated schools are also known for their strong alumni and parent networks, which can provide much support throughout your child&rsquo;s education journey.
<h2>How Do You Know if a Primary School Is Good?</h2>
The right question to ask is: Will a school be good for my child?
The reality is that you can&rsquo;t know this until your child actually enrols in the school. Luck does play a part &mdash; within the same school, some children can have a wholly positive experience, while others will have frequent run-ins with teachers and classmates, to the point of affecting their mental health.&nbsp;
Still, it&rsquo;s important to research schools, so that you can make the best decision based on available information. To find out more about schools, you can talk to educators, parents, and current students. Ask questions such as:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Would you send your own child there?</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">If you could pick again, would you still choose this school?</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">What are the biggest discipline issues?</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How has the school dealt with bullying complaints?</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">What can you tell me about the PSLE performance?</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Do you feel that the school prepares students well for the PSLE?</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How is the CCA experience? Are there opportunities to represent the school?</li>
</ul>
One thing to understand is that no school can provide everything to everyone. If your child has behavioural issues or learning needs, you might prioritise an environment where your child can feel accepted and included. If your child is an exceptionally quick learner, you might want to narrow your focus to schools that offer the <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/schoolfinder?journey=Primary%20school&amp;q=*&amp;fq=school_journey_ss%3A%22Primary%20school%22&amp;fq=%7B!tag%3DotherProgramme%7Dschool_other_programme_ss%3A(%22Gifted%20Education%20Programme%22)&amp;sort=slug_s%20asc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gifted Education Programme</a> for upper primary students.&nbsp;
How can you identify your child&rsquo;s biggest needs? Here are some suggestions:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Observe your child&rsquo;s interests: Pay attention to the activities that your child is drawn to. This can give you insight into where their passions lie.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Consider social needs: Does your child thrive in a large group, or would they do better in cosier settings? The MOE provides <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/past-vacancies-and-balloting-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> on the number of Primary 1 vacancies in each school &mdash;&nbsp;some schools have as many as 300 vacancies, while other schools have less than 200 places for new cohorts.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Evaluate special needs: If your child has any learning disabilities, behavioural issues, or special needs, do refer to the MOE&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/special-educational-needs/school-support/primary-schools" target="_blank" rel="noopener">support guide</a> before you shortlist schools.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Talk to your child: Find out what they like and dislike about their school or classroom experiences thus far.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Visit schools together: Many primary schools will hold their open house events between April and July. To be sure, check directly with your schools of interest for the schedule.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
<h2>What to Consider When Choosing a Primary School?</h2>
For a smooth and stress-free registration process, the first factor to consider is registration phase eligibility. For Singapore citizens and permanent residents, there are five <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/registration-phases-key-dates?pt=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">school registration phases</a>:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Phase 1: For children with a sibling currently studying in the primary school.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Phase 2A: For children with parents or siblings who are alumni, parents who work at the school or are part of the School Advisory or Management Committee, as well as children who attended affiliated MOE Kindergartens.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Phase 2B: For children with parents who have volunteered with the school or as community leaders, or those who have religious or clan associations.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Phases 2C and 2C Supplementary: For children who have yet to secure a school place.</li>
</ul>
If your child has a chance to register for a school in Phases 1, 2A, or 2B, this is a real advantage, and you should think twice before giving this up.
On the other hand, if you can only register your child in a school at Phase 2C, you will have to decide if it is worthwhile trying for a popular school. Taking a risk at this phase can lead to stress and disappointment, especially if balloting is a likelihood for your child. It&rsquo;s best to review <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/past-vacancies-and-balloting-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener">school balloting data for 2023</a> before making a decision.&nbsp;
We have previously interviewed a mother whose child was unsuccessful at the ballot for a popular school in Phases 2B and 2C. She eventually registered her child in a nearby neighbourhood school at Phase 2C Supplementary. Although her experience took place several years ago, her thoughts are still relevant for the current registration process, and <a href="https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/p1-registration-when-plans-fall-through/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her story</a> may offer reassurance if you land in the same situation.&nbsp;
The second factor to think about is affiliation. It&rsquo;s useful to have a safety net, and your child can also choose not to exercise their affiliation advantage after the PSLE. However, schools offer different affiliation advantages. For instance, Nanyang Primary School is a co-ed school, but it is only affiliated to Nanyang Girls&rsquo; High School, which has a rigorous admission standard. There are also schools that don&rsquo;t offer any affiliation advantages yet continue to be oversubscribed, such as Henry Park Primary School and Raffles Girls&rsquo; Primary School.
The third factor to assess is co-curricular activities or CCAs, especially if you are already looking at the <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/secondary/dsa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Direct School Admission (DSA)</a> as an alternative entrypoint to popular secondary schools. To evaluate primary schools based on their CCA strengths, you can check their <a href="https://nsg.moe.edu.sg/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National School Games</a> performance records, the results of the annual<a href="https://www.sota.edu.sg/p6artcom2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> art</a> and<a href="https://www.sota.edu.sg/p6cwcom2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> creative writing</a> competitions held by the School of the Arts, or the rankings from other competitions such as <a href="https://sg.nullspace.co/list-robotics-competitions-singapore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">robotics contests</a>.
Finally, location can make a significant difference for your child&rsquo;s school experience &mdash; and yours too, if you plan to spend time volunteering and supporting your child in the primary school years. Many parents juggle work and parenting responsibilities, so having a centrally located school with nearby amenities, such as a mall, can make life easier for you if you&rsquo;re packing lunch for your child, or need a place to work while waiting to pick up your child after CCAs or supplementary classes. If you don&rsquo;t drive, please check with your schools of interest about school bus availability and rates, or be sure to choose a school that is easily accessible via public transport.

Primary 1 registration in Singapore typically only starts in late June, but if you have a child to register this year, you’re probably considering your options now!
Recently, we’ve seen a couple of articles in the media, addressing parents’ questions such as “Should I enrol my child in my alma mater or a nearby school?” and “Is it <a href="https://www.schoolbag.edu.sg/story/is-it-a-waste-not-to-enrol-my-child-in-my-alma-mater" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a ‘waste’</a> not to enrol my child in my alma mater?”
For parents in our KSP community, we’re sure that you have plenty of questions too. In fact, did you know that our “<a href="https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&amp;t=93775" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022 P1 Registration Exercise for 2023 Intake</a>” forum thread has been active since 2019?

<h5>How does P1 registration work?</h5>
Here’s the good news, the P1 registration process is <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/how-to-register" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fully online</a> now!
If you’re completely new to this, here’s the first thing you need to know: P1 registration is conducted over several phases. Phases 1 to 2C Supplementary are for children who are Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents:
<a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/registration-phases-key-dates?pt=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phase 1</a> is for a child who has an older sibling already studying in the primary school that you are registering at. All children registered under this phase are guaranteed places in the schools.
<a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/registration-phases-key-dates?pt=2A" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phase 2A</a> is for a child:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Whose parent or sibling is a former student of the primary school.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Whose parent is a member of the School Advisory or Management Committee. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Whose parent is a staff member of the primary school. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">From the MOE Kindergarten under the purview of—and located within—the primary school.</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/registration-phases-key-dates?pt=2B" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phase 2B</a> is for a child:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Whose parent has joined the primary school as a parent volunteer by 1 July of the year before P1 registration—and volunteered at the school for at least 40 hours, by 30 June of the year of P1 registration.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Whose parent is a member endorsed by the church or clan connected with the primary school.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Whose parent is endorsed as an active community leader.</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/registration-phases-key-dates?pt=2C" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phase 2C</a> is for a child who hasn’t registered, either by choice or due to ineligibility for the previous phases. 

<a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/registration-phases-key-dates?pt=2C%20Supplementary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phase 2C Supplementary</a> is for any child who is not yet registered for a primary school after Phase 2C.
If your child is an international student, you will need to register him or her in <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/international-students" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phase 3</a>.
<h5>Are there P1 registration changes that will take effect in 2022?</h5>
Yes there are! Although you may feel anxious about this, know that it’s for a good cause — to create a fairer school admissions system, where more children with no prior connections to a school can secure a place in a school near their home.
In a nutshell, here’s what’s new:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Home-school distance will be calculated slightly differently — it will be based on a boundary around the school, instead of a single point.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">There will be more places reserved for Phase 2C.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">There will be a simpler (but more competitive) Phase 2A, where a school’s alumni members no longer have a registration advantage.</li>
</ul>
We have an article on our site that discusses these changes in detail, and you can read it <a href="https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/new-p1-registration-rules-in-2022-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
<h5>How many places will be left after each P1 registration phase?</h5>
For our math-loving parents, here&#8217;s what you should know:
In every primary school, there will be <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/changes-to-p1-registration?pt=2C" target="_blank" rel="noopener">60 reserved places</a> — 20 for Phase 2B and 40 for Phase 2C. In addition to these reserved places, one-third of any remaining vacancies at the end of Phase 2A will be allocated to Phase 2B, and two-thirds will be allocated to Phase 2C.
If you&#8217;ve managed to absorb all that, here&#8217;s how you can calculate the number of places remaining after each phase:
Phase 1: Everyone who applies gets in! 
Phase 2A vacancies: Total vacancies − 60 − Phase 1 
Phase 2B vacancies: 1/3 (Total vacancies − 60 − Phase 1 − Phase 2A) + 20 reserved places 
Phase 2C: 2/3 (Total vacancies − 60 − Phase 1 − Phase 2A) + 40 reserved places 
Phase 2C(S): Whatever remains after Phase 2C
<h5>What information and documents are needed for P1 registration?</h5>
Basic information that you will need for the online registration includes:
<ol>
<li>Your child&#8217;s full name</li>
<li>Your child’s birth certificate number</li>
<li>Your child’s date of birth</li>
<li>Your address, email, and other contact details</li>
</ol>
You may be asked to supply additional documents if you:
<ul>
<li>Are living overseas</li>
<li>Are applying under Phases 2A and 2B, and need to show proof of eligibility for these phases</li>
<li>Have an alternative childcare arrangement</li>
<li>Have just purchased a new property</li>
<li>Are divorced/separated</li>
<li>Have decided to withdraw your school registration in an earlier phase</li>
</ul>
You will also need to email your child&#8217;s<a href="http://www.nir.hpb.gov.sg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> immunisation records</a> to the school upon request. For the most accurate information on the required documents, do refer to the <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/how-to-register" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MOE website</a>.
<h5>Where do I find P1 registration statistics like balloting risk and historical data?</h5>
For parents who want to make sound decisions based on hard facts and not hearsay, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got plenty of data-based insights for you here at KSP, thanks to our Chief Kiasu!
To find out which schools will most likely see balloting during the 2022 registration process — even at Phase 2A — read our risk analysis <a href="https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/2022-p1-registration-risk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
Our Chief Kiasu has also been hard at work delivering detailed 2022 Phase 2A projections for schools, by neighbourhood, and you can browse these articles <a href="https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/search/?q=phase%202a%20projections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
<h5>I’ve just bought a new home. Is my new address valid for this year’s P1 registration?</h5>
Yes, you can use the new address if you can produce evidence from the relevant authority that you have committed to the purchase of the property. If you are still in the midst of completing the purchase at the point of registration, these are the documents that you’ll need:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400">For HDB flats: a printout of the resale flat status from the<a href="https://va.ecitizen.gov.sg/flexAnsAPI/UrlHandler.aspx?MesId=10144446&amp;MgpId=10144446&amp;GPFId=0&amp;PNodeId=0&amp;PId=5993205&amp;Source=Browse&amp;UrlSeq=1&amp;CType=1&amp;SId=8247edd7-2c07-4396-b517-b0121a5efac7&amp;LangId=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> HDB Resale Portal</a>. It must indicate that HDB has received your application to buy a resale flat.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">For private property: the exercised Option-To-Purchase (OTP) and buyer’s Stamp Duty Certificate.</li>
</ul>
You’ll also need to sign a letter of undertaking (LOU), stating that you will move into your new property by the start of your child’s P1 admission year. The school will email this to you, as well as give you more details.
Do note that a child who secures a school place through the home-school distance category priority using the address of a resale property must stay at the new address for at least 30 months starting from the start of the child’s P1 admission year.
For more answers to such questions, browse the Ministry of Education’s FAQs on<a href="https://va.ecitizen.gov.sg/cfp/customerPages/moe/explorefaq.aspx?Category=3645" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> home-school proximity</a>. To find out if you can register using a family member’s address (e.g. a grandparent, or one of your siblings), you’ll need to read up about the <a href="https://va.ecitizen.gov.sg/cfp/customerPages/moe/explorefaq.aspx?Category=8457" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alternative Care Arrangement Declaration</a>.
<h5>What are some considerations for choosing my alma mater, or a primary school with affiliation?</h5>
Here’s the truth: no one can tell you whether a school will work for you, as there are too many factors that will shape your child’s school experience. You have probably heard about parents who have decided to forgo their alumni ‘advantage’ with no regrets, and you should keep those stories in view when making your own decision.
Having alumni status does give you an easier time during the registration process, as your child will be more likely than not to get in. If it is primarily the distance factor that is causing you to pause, there are school bus services available, so you will have to decide if the commute and associated costs are worthwhile. If it’s a matter of affordability, then you should definitely pick a nearby school.
In terms of networking, your child may or may not feel the benefits of the school network in the future; that’s not something that anyone can predict. But schools with strong alumni networks tend to have a ‘family’ atmosphere, where parents are active volunteers and look out for everyone, not just their own children. In the immediate future, you will be the one to tap into your school network rather than your child — beyond sharing tutor/enrichment contacts, you can seek expert advice from other professionals in the network, and also benefit from career opportunities shared among trusted peers. Such camaraderie is possible in any school — but in newer schools, parents may need to step up more to build school spirit.
You should also be aware that ‘alumni status’ and ‘affiliation’ are two separate matters. Some popular schools such as Henry Park and Raffles Girls’ Primary are not affiliated to any secondary schools.
About 20% of Singapore’s primary schools have an affiliated secondary school, and many of these primary schools are well-known and considered popular. Having an affiliation safety net does make the Primary School Leaving Examination more stress free, and you can read more about this <a href="https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/choosing-a-primary-school-affiliations-are-better/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
<h5>How do I check on the P1 registration status or results?</h5>
You will be notified of your registration results through SMS. If you do not receive a message by noon on the <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/results" target="_blank" rel="noopener">results announcement day of your phase</a>, you can contact the school in the afternoon.
<h5>I’ve changed my mind! Can I withdraw my P1 registration application?</h5>
The MOE advises parents to discuss and decide on their school choice before submitting an online application. This is to avoid the need for withdrawals, which may lead to delays or missing a registration phase and not getting your preferred school for your child.
But if you wish to find out more about withdrawals, you can read about amending your registration <a href="https://va.ecitizen.gov.sg/cfp/customerPages/moe/ExploreFaq.aspx?Category=3632" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
<h5>Is there a P1 registration waiting list?</h5>
You should check on this directly with your schools of interest — some primary schools allow you to sign up for their waiting lists through their websites.
<h5>How does P1 registration work for twins?</h5>
From what we understand, you will fill in a single application form, even if you have more than one child eligible for primary school in the year. The form is slightly different for each phase, and may change from year to year, so it’s best to <a href="https://www.moe.gov.sg/about-us/our-service-commitment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">call the MOE hotline</a> if you have any questions on this.
If you have registered your twins (or triplets) in the same school and there is balloting, your children <a href="https://va.ecitizen.gov.sg/cfp/customerPages/moe/displayresult.aspx?MesId=422111" target="_blank" rel="noopener">will be treated as one application</a>. This means that all your children will be admitted to the school if one of them is successful in getting a place after the computerised balloting.
