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).

Hi Chief I have a question

Hi Chief

I have a question about balloting by home distance in Phase 2C. As long as the child's home is within 1 km of the school, does it make a difference in balloting priority whether the child's school is 100m from the school or 900m from the school?

thanks

school intake numbers

Most likely a lot of schools will reduce due to singlesession . You may know that some school has reduced intake since last year. eg. Henry Park 330 to 300. I also worried esp that it is a mix gender school. Pure girls and pure boys schools still stand a chance to get in.

RGPS reducing its intake this year 2012

 I read somewhere that Raffles Girls are reducing its number of intake from 330 to 270 in 2012 and slowly reducing for the next few years till the single session kicks in. Does anyone know if this is true? So from the previous years chart, the number of <1km balloting would increase? More would be fighting for less vaccancy? 

I'm concern as there's so many new and old condos around the vinicity, less chance for phrase 2B or 2C? Probably got to ballot ya? Sigh!

To Pri 1 Admission

 All 4 of your choices are higly popular schools. All will ballot in phase 2c even if you are staying within 1 km. so i would say do PV at Nanyang and go for phase 2b there - practically guaranteed admission in that phase based on historical data ( esp. since you live within 1 km). Forget about the other 3 schools - you can register your kid at one school at a time only. So if she does not get admitted into Nanyang in phase 2b (very unlikely), you stand no chances in the other schools in 2c because of your distance.
