Points to note

• Register your child for only one school in any phase
•  Making an amendment in the same phase will require you to remove the previous registration and resubmit a new registration on the P1 Registration Portal before the phase closes.
•  If unsuccessful in the phase, you can register your child in the next phase they are eligible for. If your child is unsuccessful in Phase 2C Supplementary, they will be posted to a school with an available vacancy.
•  Withdrawing a P1 place secured in the previous phase is possible. The same parent who registered the child must withdraw their place through the P1 Registration Portal successfully before registering for another school in the next eligible phase.
