- 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)
- 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
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.
Figures from MOE's official vacancies and balloting data. Because MOE reserves places for 2B and 2C and rounds when redistributing, the per-phase figures can add up to one or two more or less than the Total. The live picture for your year is always on the 2026 page.
Pioneer's first Primary 1 intake at the Tengah campus, in the 2025 P1 Registration Exercise, was not competitive. Figures published for that exercise show no phase went to a ballot: Phase 2C, the open phase most families register in, had 332 vacancies for 194 applicants, and the school still had unfilled places after Phase 2C Supplementary, with 285 of 350 total places taken. The 2026 exercise has followed a similar pattern so far (as at 23 July 2026): 380 total places this year, and no ballot needed in Phase 1, Phase 2A or the now-confirmed Phase 2B; Phase 2C for 2026 has not yet run.
Tengah is still being built up, so demand at Pioneer could change as more young families move into the estate and the school builds its own alumni base at the new campus. If you are weighing Pioneer against other options, our P1 registration guide explains how the phases work, and our choosing a school guide can help you weigh a newly relocated school like this against a longer-established one nearby.
