The Phase 2C Supplementary stage of Singapore’s Primary 1 registration is the final opportunity for parents to secure a place for their child in a preferred school. For 2025, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has released updated vacancy numbers, giving us a clear view of which schools are still open — and which might be more competitive than expected.
This guide uses 2024 balloting results and 2025 vacancies to help you make informed decisions.
📊 Understanding the Data
The table below compares:
- 2024 Vacancies at Phase 2C Supplementary
- 2024 Applications received
- Balloting outcomes (if any) in 2024
- 2025 Vacancies available at the same stage
This allows you to spot schools where demand exceeded supply last year — and where vacancies have dropped or increased this year.
🏫 Key Observations for 2025
1. Big vacancy jumps in some neighbourhood schools
Several schools have seen large increases in vacancies, giving parents more options:
- Bedok Green — from 79 in 2024 to 165 in 2025
- Changkat — from 131 to 178
- Lianhua — from 211 to 216
2. Watch out for schools that had balloting last year
Even with more vacancies, some schools may still be competitive if they faced balloting in 2024. Examples include:
- CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel (PR<2 ballot in 2024, only 49 vacancies in 2025)
- Peiying (SC1–2 ballot in 2024, 52 vacancies in 2025)
- Evergreen (SC1–2 ballot in 2024, 32 vacancies in 2025)
3. New schools and changing patterns
Some newer schools like Northshore still have 0 vacancies, suggesting they filled up in earlier phases due to high demand in new housing estates. Others, like Oasis and West Spring, have small but available spots this year.

Rank | School | Why It’s Surprising They’re Open |

💡 Tips for Parents Choosing in 2025
- Shortlist at least 3 schools — In case your first choice becomes oversubscribed.
- Consider distance advantage — Balloting priority favours those living within 1km or 1–2km from the school.
- Check balloting history — Schools with a history of balloting in Phase 2C Supplementary are more likely to require it again.
- Don’t ignore “hidden gems” — Schools with good niche programmes, CCA variety, and dedicated teachers may have higher vacancies but still offer quality education.
