Phases
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

MOE measures that distance from any point on the school's land boundary to your home's building outline, not between two single points, using the Singapore Land Authority's SLA's OneMap School Query service. Check your own address there in your registration year, per MOE's page on the address used for registration.

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.

Recent demand
Phase 2C balloted, 2.1 applicants per place
In 2025, 212 applied for 99 Phase 2C places. Home distance is often the deciding factor.

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.

Poi Ching is consistently oversubscribed, so a place is not guaranteed. The verified figures below show where it bites: in an open phase like 2C, families without an earlier-phase priority are in a real ballot, where home-to-school distance and citizenship decide who gets in.

If you are weighing Poi Ching against other schools in the east, our registration guide explains how the phases and distance tiers work, and our choosing a school guide helps you build a realistic shortlist.
