Here’s a comprehensive Phase 2A (2022–2025) Primary One (P1) registration analysis, including trends, competition levels, and key insights for each school.
🔴 1. Schools with Tightened Balloting – Clear Surge in Demand
These schools previously required balloting for lower-priority SCs (e.g., >2km or 1–2km), but now require balloting even for SCs within 1km — the highest possible demand category.
| School | 2024 Balloting | 2025 Balloting | What Changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pei Hwa Presbyterian | SC1–2 | SC<1 | ⬆️ Now balloting even for SC <1km |
| Temasek | SC1–2 | SC<1 | ⬆️ Competition intensified |
| South View | SC>2 | SC<1 | ⬆️⬆️ Major jump — low to very high demand |
| Yangzheng | SC>2 | SC<1 | ⬆️⬆️ Major surge |
👉 Interpretation: These schools are now among the most competitive in Phase 2A. Even families living <1km must ballot, suggesting overwhelming demand and limited vacancies.
🟠 2. Schools with Moderate Demand Increase
These schools shifted from balloting for SC >2km to SCs within 1–2km, meaning more applicants from priority zones — but <1km still gets in safely.
| School | 2024 Balloting | 2025 Balloting |
|---|---|---|
| Catholic High | SC>2 | SC1–2 |
| Nan Hua | SC>2 | SC1–2 |
| Rosyth | SC>2 | SC1–2 |
| Rulang | SC>2 | SC1–2 |
👉 Interpretation: These remain popular schools. The shift indicates growth in demand from families living nearer, tightening entry for those slightly further away.
🆕 3. Schools with Newly Introduced Balloting
These schools did not require balloting in 2024, but do in 2025 — a sign of either rising popularity, new BTO influx, or fewer available vacancies.
| School | 2024 Balloting | 2025 Balloting |
|---|---|---|
| Chongfu | None | SC>2 |
| Fairfield Methodist | None | SC>2 |
| Jurong West | None | SC>2 |
| Northland | None | SC>2 |
| Pei Chun Public | None | SC>2 |
| Tanjong Katong | None | SC>2 |
| Tao Nan | None | SC>2 |
| Yu Neng | None | SC>2 |
| Wellington | None | SC1–2 |
| Westwood | None | SC1–2 |
👉 Interpretation: These schools have moved from “safe bets” to ballot-risk schools, even for SCs, especially those living further than 1km. Parents aiming for these should be ready with Phase 2B/2C backups.
