- 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.
Years tagged MK are the years MK@Temasek 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.
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.
In the 2025 Primary 1 exercise, Temasek Primary required balloting at both Phase 2A and Phase 2C, a sign of steady demand from families living near the school. Our registration guide explains how the phases and the 1km and 2km distance priorities work.
If you are weighing this against other options in the east, our choosing a school guide walks through how to match a school's programmes and culture to your child rather than chasing a name.
