Is your child entering Primary One in 2026?

Details of 2025 Primary One Registration Exercise was released on 14 May 2025. Children born between 2 January 2019 and 1 January 2020 (both dates inclusive) can participate in the 2025 Primary One Registration Exercise for admission to Primary One classes in 2026.

P1 registration is conducted over several phases. These registration phases apply to children who are Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents.

If your child is an international student, you will need to register for P1 under the Phase 3 process.

Here is the timeline for 2025 exercise:

1. The registration of children for admission to Primary One (P1) in 2025 will open from 1 July 2025 to 31 October 2025.

The dates for the different phases of registration are listed below.
 

2. Details on the list of primary schools and vacancies available, as well as a list of registration centres for merging and relocating schools, can be found at the Primary One Registration Exercise for Admission to Primary One in 2025.

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. 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.
