Phase 2C is still ongoing. Snapshot numbers may change before MOE publishes final results.
Live seats and applicants are MOE's own figures, published 27 Jul 2026.
* Forecast
SEMBAWANG PRIMARY SCHOOL ranked #39 of 40 schools that filled up in Phase 2A in 2026 — 52 applicants for 52 seats. Demand exactly matched supply — nobody was turned away. See all 40 schools that filled up in Phase 2A.
Why Phase 2C?
The tier is set to the earliest phase where displayed applicants exceed displayed vacancies. For SEMBAWANG PRIMARY SCHOOL, that happens at Phase 2C: the latest 2026 snapshot shows approximately 94 applicants competing for 57 seats — a ratio of 1.6×.
Phases after 2C inherit fewer remaining seats because earlier phases absorb capacity first. A ballot at 2C typically means even tighter competition downstream.
Demand by Address Band
