What Henry Park is known for

Henry Park is one of the primary schools that hosts the Gifted Education Programme (GEP), so it draws applicants from beyond its immediate neighbourhood. You can read how this stream works, and how MOE is changing high-ability provision, in our guide to school programmes and the GEP.

Its Applied Learning Programme (ALP) is built around STEM and environmental sustainability, giving pupils hands on science and problem solving beyond the usual syllabus.

Its Learning for Life Programme (LLP), run as Sports4Life@HPPS, centres on sports and outdoor education to build fitness, resilience and teamwork.

Is it a fit for your family? What to weigh

Especially if you have no older child here to go on, these are the things worth checking before you put the school down.
Daily travel and distance
At Holland Grove Road (Bukit Timah / Holland Village). Living within 1km both shortens the daily commute and, if a phase goes to a ballot, puts you in the top priority tier, so check your home-to-school distance on MOE's locator before you commit.
A head start into secondary school
None. Henry Park has no affiliated secondary school, so a place here gives no advantage in the later Secondary 1 posting.
Teaching identity
Government, co-educational.
High-ability learners
GEP centre. High-ability children are identified through MOE's separate national screening, which is open to pupils at any school.

Phases
  • 1 — a sibling already in the school
  • 2A — parent/sibling is an ex-pupil, or parent is staff
  • 2B — volunteer, church/clan, or community leader
  • 2C — open to all, no prior link
  • 2C(S) / 3 — supplementary / non-citizen
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

Each cell: the big number is places taken; below it, applicants / vacancies. A red cell went to a ballot, with the group and its ratio, e.g. SC 1-2 (6/5).

Henry Park is consistently oversubscribed. In 2025, Phase 2C had 93 applicants for 63 places, so the phase went to balloting. If you are counting on this school, read our Primary 1 registration guide to understand how the phases and the home to school distance rules work.

Because demand is high and there is no secondary affiliation to fall back on, weigh your realistic chances before committing a phase to it. Our guide to choosing a primary school walks through how to balance a popular choice against a safer nearby option.

How a P1 place is decided
Places are offered phase by phase, in this order. Only the phases still open when you register apply to you:
Phase 1 — a sibling is already studying in the school
Phase 2A — a parent or sibling is a former pupil, or a parent is staff or a School Advisory/Management Committee member
Phase 2B — a parent is a school volunteer, an active member of a church or clan connected to the school, or a community leader
Phase 2C — open to everyone; the main phase for families with no prior link
Phase 2C Supplementary & Phase 3 — any places still left, and non-citizen applicants
When a phase has more applicants than places, priority (and the ballot, if one is needed) follows this order:
1. Singapore Citizens living within 1km of the school
2. Singapore Citizens living between 1km and 2km
3. Singapore Citizens living beyond 2km
4. Permanent Residents living within 1km
5. Permanent Residents living between 1km and 2km
6. Permanent Residents living beyond 2km
Distance and citizenship are the levers most within your control. Our registration guide walks through every phase and the key dates in full.

Stage 3 · after you're in

We're in. What happens now?

Visiting

There is no confirmed public open house for prospective P1 parents in the MOE roundups, so check the school website for any information sessions before planning a visit.

Getting ready for the first day? Henry Park Primary School publishes a P1 Orientation Guide for new families, with the practical details, uniforms, book lists, dismissal and what to bring. Schools refresh these each year, so confirm the dates against the latest version.

Common questions

Is Henry Park Primary a SAP school? +

No. Despite a common assumption, Henry Park is not a Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school. It is a co-educational government school.

Does Henry Park Primary have an affiliated secondary school? +

No. Henry Park has no secondary school affiliation, so priority admission to a linked secondary school does not apply.

Was Henry Park Primary balloted in 2025? +

Yes. In the 2025 exercise, Phase 2C had 93 applicants for 63 places and went to balloting, so living within 1km did not guarantee a place.

Does Henry Park have an affiliated secondary school? +

No. MOE does not list an affiliated secondary school for Henry Park Primary School, so a P1 place here gives no affiliation priority into any secondary. Secondary posting follows the normal PSLE and Secondary 1 Posting Exercise.
