Admission Procedures - Primary School

Admission to Primary 1

In Singapore, a child enters Primary 1 in the year she turns 7 years. All pupils seeking admission to Primary 1 for the first time, including those interested in seeking admission to SCGS, must participate in the respective Primary One Registration Exercise which is a national exercise conducted from July – Sept in the year preceding that.

The registration exercise is carried out according to discrete Phases and the eligible may only register on the prescribed days for their phase. You may refer to the Ministry of Education website for information on the different phases and eligibility and registration procedures.
