If Phase 2C doesn’t work out, which schools near my home had places in Phase 2C Supplementary year after year?
Published · Data current to the 2026 Primary 1 registration results
Phase 2C Supplementary, or 2C(S), is the last phase you can register in if your child didn’t get a place in Phase 2C. From 2022 to 2026, about half of Singapore’s primary schools had 2C(S) places each year. At 47 of them, every Singapore citizen family who applied got a place, every year. Enter your address to see what happened to families at your distance at every school within 4km.

About half of schools had 2C(S) places · tap for the rest
- About half of schools had 2C(S) places. Each year from 2022 to 2026, 92 to 100 schools had places left after Phase 2C. 65 schools had none in any of the five years.
- At 47 schools, every citizen family who applied got a place, every year. That held however far from the school the family lived. Families within 1km of a school got a 2C(S) place every year at 63 schools, and families 1 to 2km away at 53.
- 2C(S) places change every year. They’re whatever Phase 2C leaves. Check MOE’s list of 2C(S) places when the phase opens. If 2C(S) doesn’t work out either, MOE posts the child to “a school with available vacancy”.
Addresses are looked up through OneMap, the Singapore Land Authority’s map service. Distances here are straight-line. Check your address on OneMap’s School Query, and compare with MOE’s own Vacancies and Balloting Data Checker, before you decide anything.

How to read your results
Results are for Singapore citizen families. Each year is when registration happened: 2026 is for children starting Primary 1 in 2027.
Phase 2C Supplementary is for children who didn’t get a place in Phase 2C. It fills in the same order as Phase 2C: citizens within 1km, then citizens 1 to 2km away, then citizens more than 2km away, then permanent residents in the same three groups. The families applying are everyone who missed out in Phase 2C, at any school. So a school with 2C(S) places can still go to a ballot if a popular school nearby balloted heavily in Phase 2C.
Each school within 4km gets a card, nearest first. The five boxes on each card show what happened to families at your distance each year from 2022 to 2026: ✓ they got a place without a ballot, Ballot they went to a ballot, ✗ every 2C(S) place went to families living closer, and None left: no places were left after Phase 2C. A dash means that year’s result isn’t in the data. The sentences below the boxes tell you the same thing, in words.
Distances here are measured in a straight line, and MOE measures from the school’s boundary. If MOE’s School Query puts your address in a different group for a school, change it on that school’s card.
MOE Kindergarten means children from the MOE Kindergarten at this school can register in Phase 2A, before Phase 2C. That isn’t a guaranteed place: Phase 2A can go to a ballot too.
Questions people ask about this
What happens if Phase 2C Supplementary doesn’t work out either?
MOE posts your child to a school with available vacancy, and tells you by SMS on the results day. MOE doesn’t say the school will be near your home. Phase 2C Supplementary is the last registration phase for citizens and permanent residents, and you can register at only one school in it.
Does living closer still matter in Phase 2C Supplementary?
Yes. Phase 2C Supplementary follows the same order as Phase 2C: citizens within 1km, then citizens 1 to 2km away, then citizens more than 2km away, then permanent residents in the same three groups. When a group has more families than places left, it goes to a ballot. From 2022 to 2026, families within 1km of a school got a 2C(S) place every year at 63 schools, and families more than 2km away at 47.
Do the 2027 changes affect Phase 2C Supplementary?
MOE’s 10 September 2026 announcement changes Phase 2C only: 60 places instead of 40 at schools with 180 or more Primary 1 places, and two tracks at twelve schools. It announced no change to Phase 2C Supplementary. The numbers could still move, because 2C(S) places are whatever Phase 2C leaves. Where Phase 2C goes to a ballot, more families may now get a place in it, so fewer go on to 2C(S). Nobody knows by how much yet.
Are the results different for permanent resident families?
Yes. The results on this page are for Singapore citizen families. Permanent residents come after every citizen, in the same three distance groups, so a permanent resident family can miss out at a school where every citizen got a place. In a few schools, MOE also caps how many permanent resident children they take in Phase 2C and 2C(S). Check the school on MOE’s vacancies and balloting page before you register.
Can I see this year’s Phase 2C Supplementary places before I register?
Yes. MOE publishes the 2C(S) places when the Phase 2C results come out. Registration opens about a week later and lasts two days. Check them on MOE’s vacancies and balloting page before you register. This page shows past years only, and a school’s 2C(S) places can change a lot from one year to the next.
Is this checker telling me which school to choose?
No. It shows MOE’s published Phase 2C Supplementary results, year by year, for the schools near one address. It leaves out things that matter to a family, like the commute by MRT, an older sibling already in a school, and whether a school suits your child. Past results don’t promise a place in any future year.
Why might the distance here differ from OneMap?
This page measures a straight line between your address point and the school’s address point. MOE measures from the school’s boundary, so OneMap’s School Query can give a different distance, and a home near the 1km or 2km line can fall into a different group. Check your address on OneMap before you decide anything. If it puts you in a different group, change your distance group on that school’s card.
This is a work in progress and it gets better when people push back on it. If a number looks wrong, or your own school result does not match what you know, tell me and I will look into it and update.

How the results are read
Each box uses MOE’s Phase 2C Supplementary result for that school and year. Where the places ran out among citizens in one distance group, families closer than that group got a place, that group went to a ballot, and families further away didn’t get a place.
Where the data marks a group with ‘#’, no ballot was held: every family in that group got a place, and the places ran out there.
“Every year” means families at your distance got a 2C(S) place without a ballot in all five years, 2022 to 2026. A year with no places left after Phase 2C, a ballot, or a year missing from the data keeps a school off that list.

More from Geek Out: Primary schools near my home: what’s their Phase 2C ballot history, and what changes in 2027?
Before you act on any of this. This page gathers MOE’s published Phase 2C Supplementary results in one place. Past results don’t promise a place in any future year. It isn’t a recommendation of which school to choose, or a reason to move home. Distances are straight-line, so check your address on OneMap’s School Query. I refresh the numbers each year once MOE publishes the new results.
