Places, applicants and balloting by phase

Each cell shows the places available in that phase and the number of children who applied. "Balloted" means there were more applicants than places. Where MOE published which group had to ballot, it's shown.

2025: MOE's published vacancies and balloting data. 2026: MOE's final figures for the exercise (July–August 2026), from SGSchoolKaki's tracker; MOE adds 2026 to its own archive in January 2027. 2024: MOE's figures from SGSchoolKaki's ballot history; the group that balloted wasn't available for 2024. Phase 1 applicant numbers are shown where they were published.

What this means if you're moving for West View Primary. No phase has been balloted here since at least 2019. In 2026 there were 60 Phase 2C places for 35 applicants, and 17 places were still open after Phase 2C Supplementary. Every child who registered got a place, wherever they lived.

At recent demand, the 1 km and 2 km priority hasn't made a difference here. Demand can change from year to year, especially as new homes are completed nearby, so check the latest figures in your registration year.

From the 2027 exercise (for children starting P1 in 2028), MOE reserves 60 places for Phase 2C, up from 40, at schools with a P1 intake of 180 or more. West View Primary took 150 children in the 2026 exercise, so the change doesn't apply unless its intake rises to 180 or more. West View Primary is not one of the 12 schools under MOE's new Two-Track Scheme, so living closer keeps its priority. More on the 2027 changes.

Phase 2C since 2019

The phase where living near the school counts, year by year. More than one applicant per place means a ballot.

Buying near the school

Registering from a home you've just bought

MOE uses the parents' NRIC address to place a child in a distance category. It also accepts the address of a home you've bought but haven't moved into yet, under these conditions.

A new launch (not yet completed)

The home's vacant possession date in your sale and purchase agreement must be within two years of your child starting P1. MOE doesn't accept the probable completion date.
You undertake to move in within two years of your child starting P1, and send the school a copy of the sale and purchase agreement during the phase.
If the address gets your child priority, you must live there for at least 30 months from the day you move in.

A completed home (resale)

You can register while the purchase is going through: for a private home, send the exercised option to purchase and the buyer's stamp duty certificate; for an HDB flat, the resale application status from HDB.
You undertake to live there from the start of your child's P1 school term.
You must then live there for at least 30 months from the start of P1.

If the 30-month stay isn't met, MOE transfers the child to another school of its choosing. MOE also checks for addresses used only for registration. Rules from MOE as at October 2026; always check moe.gov.sg in your registration year.

Which registration year can use a new launch address?

Worked out from MOE's own example (children registering in 2026 need a vacant possession date no later than 31 December 2028).

P1 registration	Child born	Starts P1	Vacant possession by
2027	2 Jan 2021 – 1 Jan 2022	January 2028	31 Dec 2029
2028	2 Jan 2022 – 1 Jan 2023	January 2029	31 Dec 2030
2029	2 Jan 2023 – 1 Jan 2024	January 2030	31 Dec 2031
2030	2 Jan 2024 – 1 Jan 2025	January 2031	31 Dec 2032

Solano Grand: what we know so far →

MOE's official distance category is measured from the school's boundary to the building's outline on OneMap, and can change from year to year. Check it with the unit's postal code on onemap.gov.sg/school in your registration year. For a new launch, the vacant possession date that counts is the one in your sale and purchase agreement.
