Did your child not secure a spot in Phase 2A or 2B? Don’t worry—some primary schools still have available vacancies even in Phase 2C!
Based on the 2024 Primary 1 registration data, we’ve compiled a list of schools that historically have more vacancies than applicants in Phase 2C. These schools serve as a safety net for parents who want to avoid balloting or are looking for a guaranteed spot.
Why Consider These Schools?
✅ No balloting needed – Fewer applicants than vacancies means automatic admission
✅ Less competitive – Higher chance of securing a place even in later phases
✅ Good options in non-mature estates – Many are located in areas with newer housing
