Registration phases and key dates

Primary 1 (P1) registration is conducted over several phases. Check for your child's eligible P1 registration phases and their key dates.

Overview

P1 registration is conducted over several phases. Phases 1 to 2C Supplementary apply to children who are Singapore Citizens (SC) and Permanent Residents (PR).

International students must register through a 2-step process prior to registration in Phase 3. Find out how.

Check your child's registration phase

Parents of SC and PR children can find out which phases your child is eligible for by answering a few questions.

Key points

For SC and PR children:

  • Register your child for only one school in any phase
    Multiple applications are not accepted. MOE will take your latest submission made during the phase.
  • If your application in a phase is unsuccessful
    You can register your child in the next phase they are eligible for. If your child is unsuccessful in Phase 2C Supplementary, they will be posted to a school with available vacancy.
We encourage all parents to discuss well ahead and decide on your preferred school before submitting your application. This is to avoid the need to make any withdrawals or amendments which may lead to delays or missing a registration phase and as a result, not getting into your preferred school.
