This episode details the key changes to Singapore's Primary 1 (P1) registration exercise starting in 2027, focusing on how these policy updates impact property buyers and school-catchment considerations. We explain the increase in reserved places for Phase 2C, which expands from 40 to 60 slots at most schools, ensuring better access for children without prior connections to the school. A critical update involves the introduction of a new 2-track scheme for 12 specific schools in areas with low public housing density, such as Bukit Timah and Marine Parade. In these schools, Phase 2C places are split equally between applicants living within 2km and those living further away. We break down the mathematical logic behind the reallocation of spots, showing how places shift from Phase 2A and 2B to Phase 2C. This guide also lists the 12 affected schools, including Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) and CHIJ (Katong) Primary, providing a clear before-and-after comparison of admission chances. Learn what these regulatory shifts mean for navigating school catchments, understanding demographic mixing, and making informed decisions when selecting your next home.
