Phases
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

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@Princess Elizabeth pupils were in the Phase 2A applicant pool (from the 2024 exercise, when the MK's first cohort registered for P1). An MK link gives Phase 2A eligibility, not a guaranteed place.

Your odds
Very hard in Phase 2C
In 2025, 232 applied for 41 Phase 2C places, roughly 18 places per 100 applicants. Distance within 1km and an earlier-phase priority matter a lot.

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.

Princess Elizabeth is exceptionally competitive. In 2025 it went to a ballot in all three open phases, Phase 2A, Phase 2B and Phase 2C, which is unusual, with 232 applicants for just 41 places in Phase 2C. Balloting even in Phase 2A means demand outstrips places well before the general public phase, so unless you have an earlier-phase priority and live close by, a place is far from guaranteed. Numbers change every year, so check the live figures for your year on MOE's checker.

If you are comparing Princess Elizabeth with other Bukit Batok and west-side schools, our registration guide explains how the phases and distance tiers work, and our choosing a school guide helps you build a realistic shortlist that is not all long-shots.

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 — any places still left after 2C
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.
