Singapore Primary 1 Registration School Balloting History

Share

(Charts Updated 5 Aug 2011) Here is the consolidated Primary One Registration balloting history of Singapore's Primary Schools, since 2006.  In this latest edition, we have included the 2010 data as part of the Historical Average.  This data is useful to parents as an indicator of the difficulty of getting their children into their preferred schools.

The table below describes the various possible scenarios: 

Scenario

Interpretation

No balloting necessary The number of applicants (APP) was at most equal to the number of vacancies available for that Phase.  All registrants were successful.
No balloting even though APP exceeded vacancies for a Phase The only time this happens is if twins, triplets, etc were successfully registered within the Phase.  Multiple births are treated only as 1 registrant during registration.
Cut off at 1-2km The number of applicants (APP) exceeded the number of available vacancies.  All those staying under 1km were successful without balloting.  As there was an EXACT number of applicants staying in the 1-2km range for the remaining vacancies, those staying 1-2km were also successful without balloting.  All those staying outside of 1-2km were unsuccessful.  There was no ballot.
Cut off at <1km The number of applicants (APP) exceeded the number of available vacancies.  As there was an EXACT number of applicants staying under 1km for the available vacancies, those staying under 1km were successful without balloting.  All those staying outside of 1km were unsuccessful.  There was no ballot.

Balloting required at >2km

The number of applicants (APP) exceeded the number of available vacancies.  All those staying under 2km were successful without balloting.  All those staying  beyond 2km have to ballot for the remaining vacancies.  If X% of APP were staying under 2km, then the probability of winning the ballot is (100-X)/(APP-X).  To determine X, it is necessary to check with the school sometime before the end of the days of registration for that Phase.

Balloting required at 1-2km

The number of applicants (APP) exceeded the number of available vacancies.  All those staying under 1km were successful without balloting.  All those staying beyond 2km were unsuccessful without balloting.  All those staying 1-2km have to ballot for the remaining vacancies.  If X% of APP were staying under 1km, then the probability of winning the ballot is (100-X)/(APP-X).  To determine X, it is necessary to check with the school sometime before the end of the days of registration for that Phase.

Balloting required at <1km

The number of applicants (APP) exceeded the number of available vacancies.  All those staying beyond 1km were unsuccessful without balloting.  All those staying within 1km have to ballot for the remaining vacancies.  The probability of winning the ballot is (100/APP).

2011 table

Hi Chief

Noticed the historical table is only up to 2010. Will you be updating for 2011 or is it now replaced by the chart?

@maple013

I believe you can only volunteer in the constituency where you reside, and so you qualify for 2B of any schools within your constituency.

Do join us in the forum, and visit this thread:  http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=420 for further information on the GRL route.

Which Primary School should I chose?

Any advise from all parents?

Currently staying in Jurong West (JW) and will be moving to Queenstown in 2015. Kid will be going to Primary 1 in 2014.

Should I start her in JW for Primary 1 (2014) & 2 (2015) and transfer her to Queenstown in 2016 or should I start in Queenstown from Primary 1 onwards?

I also think that you can try

I also think that you can try PV at Tanjong Katong Primary (If you have the time & selected by them to do PV) and try your luck at Phase 2B .  If you are able to get in, good, if not phase 2C, you have to weight on the odd between Maha Bodhi & Tanjong Katong (assume that both need to go for ballot).

hi, i believe it is safer and

hi, i believe it is safer and technically wiser to become a PV at Tanjong Katong Primary to get into Phase 2B rather than going for balloting in Phase 2C at Maha Bodhi. If you are unlucky in P2B, you can still go to register in P2C at Maha Bodhi.

List of phase 3 schools

The list of schools with available places will be posted on the MOE website by Aug 24 if I'm not wrong. You can then study the vacancies and decide.
