MK@Meridian: P1 Priority, Ballot History & K1 Admission

Q: Does MK@Meridian guarantee admission to Meridian Primary School?

No. It gives eligible children Phase 2A registration eligibility at Meridian Primary School, subject to the prevailing MOE rules, vacancies, citizenship, home-to-school distance and balloting where required. Phase 2A is an earlier priority phase, not a guaranteed place.

Q: Does living near MK@Meridian guarantee a K1 place?

No. Where an MOE Kindergarten is oversubscribed, home-to-school distance can affect priority or balloting, so living nearby may help. It is not an unconditional guarantee of a K1 place.

Q: Does the partner Early Years Centre guarantee a place at MK@Meridian?

Children who meet the official EYC partnership conditions and stay enrolled through the required period are offered a guaranteed K1 place at the partner MK. This EYC-to-MK guarantee is separate from P1 admission at the host primary school, which is never guaranteed.

Q: Can my child attend MK@Meridian but apply to another primary school?

Yes. You are not required to register at the host primary school. Attending MK@Meridian earns Phase 2A eligibility at Meridian Primary, but you are free to choose the primary school that suits your child and family.

Q: Why should I check old Phase 2A results?

Past results show how much demand there has been at Meridian Primary in Phase 2A, which helps you set expectations. They cannot predict or guarantee a future outcome, because demand, vacancies and the families who apply change every year.

P1 Priority & Meridian Primary Ballot History

Children attending MK@Meridian are eligible to register for Primary 1 at Meridian Primary School during Phase 2A, subject to the prevailing MOE rules. Phase 2A is an earlier priority phase, but it does not guarantee admission. If applications exceed vacancies, citizenship and home-to-school distance priority may apply, and a ballot may be required.

Latest Phase 2A status

2026 P1 Registration Exercise, for children entering P1 in 2027

Host school: Meridian Primary School · Phase 2A

Vacancies (Phase 2A): 115
Applicants: 22interim
Demand: 19%
Oversubscribed: No
Ballot required: No
Affected group: Not yet confirmed
Data status: Provisional

On the interim counts, Meridian Primary's Phase 2A had 22 applicants for 115 places, which is within its Phase 2A capacity on the interim counts. MOE has not published a confirmed Phase 2A ballot outcome for this school, so the result here is shown as awaiting final confirmation rather than a settled ballot.

Where a phase is oversubscribed, MOE fills places by citizenship first (Singapore Citizens ahead of Permanent Residents) and then by home-to-school distance (within 1km, then 1km to 2km, then outside 2km), balloting only within the group where the places run out. Your family's registered address and citizenship group are what decide your standing, not last year's figures.

Previous-year results describe past demand only. They do not predict or guarantee a future outcome.

Recent Phase 2A history at Meridian Primary

MK@Meridian pupils first entered this Phase 2A pool in the 2022 exercise, which is when 2A demand here began to climb.

Phases

1: sibling currently studying in the school
2A: parent/sibling is a former pupil; parent is staff or on the school committee; or a child from the school’s MOE Kindergarten (MK)
2A(2): the former Phase 2A2 (before 2022), now merged into 2A
2B: parent volunteer, church/clan, or community leader
2C: open to all, no prior connection
2C(S): supplementary round after Phase 2C
3: international students (not SC or PR)

Distance groups (ballot priority order)

1. SC<1: Singapore Citizen within 1km
2. SC 1-2: within 1 to 2km
3. SC>2: beyond 2km
4. PR<1: Permanent Resident within 1km
5. PR 1-2: within 1 to 2km
6. PR>2: beyond 2km

MOE measures that distance from any point on the school's land boundary to your home's building outline, not between two single points, using the Singapore Land Authority's SLA's OneMap School Query service. Check your own address there in your registration year, per MOE's page on the address used for registration.

A grey note like all SC placed or all SC<1 placed means the phase was oversubscribed but no ballot was conducted: MOE offered the places by citizenship and distance priority, and everyone in the group shown was admitted (per MOE’s official balloting data). The % is not red in these cases because there was no ballot.

Each cell: the big number is places taken; below it, applicants / vacancies, then the demand % (applicants as a share of vacancies, so above 100% means more families wanted that phase than there were places). A red cell went to a ballot, with the group and its ratio, e.g. SC 1-2 (6/5). In the Total column, “of NNN” is that year’s total P1 places, the +/- below is the change from the year before, and the last line is places taken as a % of the total.

Years tagged MK are the years MK@Meridian pupils were in the Phase 2A applicant pool (from the 2022 exercise, when the MK's first cohort registered for P1). An MK link gives Phase 2A eligibility, not a guaranteed place.

K1 Admission to MK@Meridian

K1 places at MK@Meridian are offered through the annual MOE Kindergarten registration exercise, held around February to March for entry the following January. K1 is for children turning 5 in the year of entry; K2 follows the next year.

Admission runs in priority order set by MOE. Continuing K1 children from the partner Early Years Centre and siblings are considered first, followed by other applicants. When applications for a level exceed the places available, MOE holds a ballot, and home-to-school distance can be used as a tie-break where applicable.

Living nearest does not automatically guarantee a place. Distance affects priority in a ballot; it is not an unconditional guarantee. Outcomes are released by MOE after the exercise, and parents accept the offered place within the stated window to secure it.

The full curriculum, fees, KCare and KiFAS details are the same across all MOE Kindergartens, so we summarise them below and link to the MOE Kindergarten guide rather than repeat them.

How the EYC-to-MK pathway works →

Two different pathways

1. Partner EYC → MK@Meridian
Eligible children who meet the official EYC partnership conditions and stay enrolled through the required period are guaranteed a K1 place at the partner MK.
2. MK@Meridian → Meridian Primary
Attending MK@Meridian provides Phase 2A eligibility at the host primary school. It does not guarantee a Primary 1 place.

The guaranteed part is the EYC-to-MK step. It does not carry through to a guaranteed Primary 1 place.
