The 1 km ring and Primary 1 registration
When a phase of Primary 1 registration has more applicants than places, MOE ranks Singapore Citizens living within 1 km of the school first, then those between 1 and 2 km, then those further away; Permanent Residents follow in the same three bands. MOE measures from the school’s boundary to the home’s building outline, and the official figure is the one on OneMap School Query — so treat this list, measured from the school’s postal-code point, as a guide and check an address there.
From the 2027 exercise (children starting Primary 1 in 2028), St. Margaret’s School (Primary) is one of 12 schools where Phase 2C splits its places equally between applicants living within 2 km and those beyond, with no distance priority inside either track. Distance still counts in the other phases.
