How does P1 registration work for schools in Bukit Timah?
P1 registration follows MOE's multi-phase system: Phase 1 (siblings), Phase 2A (alumni, church/clan), Phase 2B (parent volunteers, community leaders), Phase 2C (open). Living within 1-2km of the school in Bukit Timah gives priority in balloting.
What are the top primary schools in Bukit Timah?
The "best" school depends on your child's needs and your priorities. In Bukit Timah, consider factors like SAP status, GEP availability, Applied Learning Programmes, and CCA offerings rather than just academic results.
Are public primary schools in Bukit Timah really free?
Yes, public primary schools in Singapore charge no tuition fees for citizens. There are small miscellaneous fees ($6.50/month for citizens, $13/month for PRs) and optional costs like school bus, uniform, and textbooks.
What CCAs are available at primary schools in Bukit Timah?

Should I move to Bukit Timah to be near a good primary school?
