How many vacancy in each phase?

Every school starts with a number of vacancy, with a minimal number of vacancy reserved for the following 2 phases:

• Phase 2B reserve 20
• Phase 2C reserve 40

Let’s use an example.

Anderson Primary School have 210 vacancy in 2021. NOTE: We merge 2A(1) and 2A(2) data since 2021 is still on the old registration framework.

Therefore, Phase 1 will have:

210 - 20 - 40 = 150

This vacancy of 150 will be available to Phase 1. With 86 places taken up in Phase 1, the remaining vacancy will be:

150 - 86 = 64

This remaining vacancy of 64 will be available to Phase 2A. With 51 places taken up in Phase 2A, the remaining vacancy will be:

64 - 51 = 13

This remaining vacancy of 13 will split between the next 2 phases – 1/3 to 2B and 2/3 to 2C (round down the number for 2B).

1/3 x 13 = 4 (2B, rounded down)
13 - 4 = 9 (2C)

Adding to the vacancy reserved in the beginning, Phase 2B will have:

20 + 4 = 24

In 2021, Phase 2B took up 22 places, so 24 - 22 = 2. The remaining 2 vacancy will overflow to 2C. Therefore Phase 2C will have:

40 + 9 + 2 = 51

That is theoretically how it works.
