Primary School Registration 2024 in Singapore: A Guide for Parents

Registering your child in 2024 for a primary school in Singapore is an important milestone for both parents and children. Initially, primary school registration can seem overwhelming, but navigating with the right information and guidance becomes much easier. 

The 2024 P1 Registration Exercise for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents will commence on Tuesday, July 2, 2024 and this guide aims to provide parents with a step-by-step overview of Singapore’s primary school registration process, along with important considerations and required supporting documents.

Registration for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents

Parents of Singapore Citizen (SC) and Permanent Resident (PR) children can conveniently register through the P1 Registration Portal. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process:

On the Portal:

1. View Registration Phases and Schools:

   • Starting from 9 AM on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, you can view your child’s eligible registration phases and schools.

2. Register Your Child:

   • You can register your child during their eligible phases, ranging from Phase 1 to Phase 2C Supplementary.

3. Check Registration Outcome:
