Common questions
How hard is it to get into Princess Elizabeth at P1? +
Very hard. In 2025 it balloted in all three open phases (2A, 2B and 2C), with 232 applicants for 41 places in Phase 2C, so a place is not guaranteed even for parent volunteers or alumni. Living within 1km and holding an earlier-phase priority both help. Check the live vacancy and applicant numbers for your year on MOE's balloting data checker.
Is Princess Elizabeth Primary affiliated to a secondary school? +
No. Princess Elizabeth has no affiliated secondary school, so a place here gives no advantage in the later Secondary 1 posting.
What is Princess Elizabeth Primary known for? +
Its Applied Learning Programme in Innovation & Enterprise ('Design for Inclusivity'), which builds design thinking, technology and coding skills, and its Learning for Life Programme, "The LOVE Experience", in Community Service and Student Leadership.
Does Princess Elizabeth have an affiliated secondary school? +
No. MOE does not list an affiliated secondary school for Princess Elizabeth 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.
