Can I register my child in more than one school in the Primary One (P1) Registration Exercise?

Do both parents need to be present during registration in the Primary One (P1) Registration Exercise?
Answer:
For Phase 1 registration, schools will issue Phase 1 forms to parents through the older sibling currently studying in the school. Parents may submit the registration form and relevant documents through the older sibling who is required to return the form to the school. Parents who did not do so, may still proceed to the school directly for Phase 1 registration.

For Phase 2A(1) to Phase 2C Supplementary registration, only one parent needs to be present for registration together with all the original documents, including both parent’s NRICs. If neither parent can be present, then a person authorised by the parent can register the child together with all the original documents.

For Phase 3 registration, please click here.

I have already registered my child in a primary school. I now wish to register my child in another school. What should I do?
Answer:
To register in another primary school in a phase that the child is eligible for, you need to withdraw your application in person from the first school. Both parents' original NRICs have to be produced at the point of withdrawal in order for the school to process the withdrawal. After the withdrawal is completed, you may then register your child in another school.
 
If you have registered your child online via the Primary One Internet System (P1-IS) and you wish to do an online withdrawal, you are required to logon to P1-IS to submit the withdrawal. After the withdrawal is completed online, re-registration has to be done at your school of choice.

When is balloting required for a school in the Primary One (P1) Registration Exercise? How will the balloting be conducted?
Answer:
Should the total number of applications exceed the number of vacancies for each phase in a primary school from Phase 2A(1) to 2C Supplementary, priority will be given in the order of children who are Singapore Citizens (SCs), followed by children who are Singapore Permanent Residents (PRs). Balloting will be conducted according to the home-school distance category, if the number of applicants within each category exceeds the number of vacancies, in the following order of priority.

  1. Children living within 1 km of the school of choice.
  2. Children living between 1 km and 2 km of the school of choice.
  3. Children living outside 2 km of the school of choice.

MOE HQ will centrally conduct computerised balloting, when required. All registrants that are required to ballot are assured of an equal chance for admission into the school.

Following are the examples to illustrate on balloting:

Example 1 - School A with 80 vacancies and 90 applicants
Example 2 - School B with 70 vacancies for a particular phase and 85 applicants

My child is not a Singapore Citizen or Singapore Permanent Resident and is born between 2 January 2013 and 1 January 2014. How can my child seek admission to Primary One (P1) in 2020?
Answer:
Non-Singapore Citizen (SC) / non-Permanent Resident (PR) children who wish to seek admission to P1 in 2020 are required to undergo a two-step process:

Step 1: Submit an online indication of interest form via the MOE P1 website from 4 to 10 June 2019; and

Step 2: Non-SC / non-PR children who have submitted the 'indication of interest' form and are notified in October by MOE that they can be offered a P1 place in the school, must register in-person at the designated schools during Phase 3 of the 2019 P1 Registration Exercise (in late October 2019).

Parents of non-SC / non-PR children should note that the 'indication of interest' is not considered as registration. Parents of non-SC / non-PR children should also note that admission is not guaranteed as there are limited vacancies remaining for non-SC / non-PR children after places are allocated to SC/PR children.

As admission is not guaranteed, parents are advised to consider alternative educational options well ahead of time.
