Rosyth School

Add the Rosyth P1 2027 group link

Rosyth School is a large, well-regarded co-educational primary in Serangoon North, and one of the handful of schools chosen to run the Gifted Education Programme. It draws strong demand across the northeast, so places in the open phases usually come down to balloting.

What Rosyth is known for

Rosyth was one of the primary schools selected to run the Gifted Education Programme (GEP), which identifies high-ability learners from Primary 3. You can read how it works in our guide to the GEP.

Its Applied Learning Programme (ALP) runs on a science and innovation theme built around material science, giving pupils hands-on STEM work beyond the usual syllabus.

The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) centres on music and the performing arts, so aesthetics and creative expression sit alongside the academic focus.

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 21 Serangoon North Avenue 4, S555855 (Serangoon). 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. Rosyth has no affiliated secondary school, so a place here gives no advantage in the later Secondary 1 posting.
Teaching identity
Government, co-educational (not a SAP school).
High-ability learners
One of the primary schools that ran the GEP. 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).

Rosyth is consistently oversubscribed. In 2025, Phase 2C drew 132 applicants for 42 places, so admission came down to a ballot even for families living nearby, and balloting was also needed in Phases 2A and 2B that year. For how the phases and distance priority work, see our registration guide.

If you are weighing Rosyth against other schools in the northeast, our guide to choosing a primary school walks through distance, phases, programmes and fit.

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

Rosyth does not appear with a fixed public open house in the usual MOE roundups, so watch the school website for any P1 information session or briefing dates each year.

Getting ready for the first day? Rosyth 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.
