Primary schools in Serangoon

What registering in Serangoon actually looks like

Serangoon has 5 primary schools and 880 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.

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

On school buses, 3 of the 5 publish a fare table on their own site, and across Serangoon the monthly fares run $162 to $530. 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.
