Unsuccessful registrants

If your child is unsuccessful in any phase of the registration exercise, you can register your child again in the next phase that you are eligible for.

If your child is unsuccessful in Phase 2C Supplementary, they will be posted to a school with available vacancy.

If balloting is needed

Computerised balloting will be conducted centrally by MOE HQ. You will be notified of the outcome through SMS on the results announcement day.

From 2023, MOE will also publish data from the preceding year’s P1 Registration Exercise to better support parents in their selection of primary schools. Starting from 23 May 2023, parents may refer here for last year’s P1 Registration Exercise data, which will include last year’s available vacancies, registration applicants, and balloting information in the relevant phases for each school. If balloting was conducted for a specific phase, parents would see the category that balloting was conducted for, the number of vacancies available in the ballot, and the number of applicants who participated in the ballot. Parents can also view a list of schools within 2km of their residence and check whether these schools were oversubscribed in specific phases during last year’s Exercise.
