Primary schools in Bukit Batok

What registering in Bukit Batok actually looks like

Bukit Batok has 6 primary schools and 1,480 P1 places for 2026. The figures below are what happened at Phase 2C, the phase used by families with no prior link to the school.

• 3 of them went to a ballot at Phase 2C in each of 2025, 2024 and 2023: Keming, Princess Elizabeth, and St. Anthony's. At those schools a place came down to the ballot, not to applying early.
• 2 of them took every Phase 2C applicant without a ballot in all 3 of those years, because fewer children applied than there were places: Bukit View and Lianhua. A school that has not balloted before can still ballot next year. This is the record, not a forecast.
• 1 of them has an affiliated secondary school, which lets eligible children register in Phase 2A: St. Anthony's. Places taken in Phase 2A are places that no longer reach Phase 2C.
• 2 of them host an MOE Kindergarten, and a child studying there is eligible for Phase 2A at that school: Dazhong and Princess Elizabeth.

On school buses, 5 of the 6 publish a fare table on their own site, and across Bukit Batok the monthly fares run $111 to $210. 3 of those tables state a maximum rather than a set price. What a family actually pays depends on the distance band, the bus size and whether the trip is one way or two, so it varies by school. Confirm with that school's operator.

The Phase 2C record above is read from the same year by year data as the table on this page (2025, 2024 and 2023). The 2026 result was published on 5 August and is too recent to count as a pattern.
