See how P1 demand changed across schools, phases and years.
Explore available slots, subscribed slots (applicants), and applicants per slot on one interactive chart. The full historical school archive is available, with the original 15-school shortlist preserved as Top Schools.
Dataset coverage
Subscription rate = applicants ÷ vacancies. Above 1.00× means oversubscribed.
Important: the rate is not a child’s personal admission probability; citizenship and home–school distance priorities still apply.
Compare vacancies, applicants and subscription rate over time.
Use the controls to switch school and phase. The chart and exact-value table update together.

Schools are sorted by applicants per available slot for the selected phase and year.
Useful trend evidence, not admission odds.
What the metric means
Subscription rate is applicants divided by available vacancies within a registration phase. A value above 1.00× identifies oversubscription and likely balloting somewhere within that phase.
Why Phase 2A is split
Legacy Phase 2A(1) and 2A(2) were sequential phases through 2021. MOE merged them into one Phase 2A from 2022. Their vacancies cannot be safely added because the figures are sequential, so this site offers separate regime views.
Validation and reliability
All 45 Top Schools values for 2025 (15 schools × Phase 2A, 2B and 2C) were programmatically cross-checked against MOE’s official page: 45/45 matched. The all-school archive retains schools with available history, including recently opened, suspended or historical entries; genuinely unavailable pre-opening years are left absent rather than zero-filled. Earlier values are archival MOE-origin reference data and have not been revalidated against a live MOE endpoint.
How balloting actually works
Oversubscription does not equal a child’s odds. Citizenship and home–school distance categories determine priority before balloting.
