NOTE: There are 3 big changes to the 2022 P1 registration. We have updated this page for 2022. If you like to know about the previous framework, refer to this.
Every school starts with a number of vacancy, with a minimal number of vacancy reserved for the following 2 phases:
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.
