If my child is admitted to the school using our current address for P1 Registration, do we need to seek MOE’s approval before we move to another address?
You do not need to seek our approval to change your residential address.
However, if your child gains priority admission through home-school distance category, they must reside at the address used for registration (which shall continue to be the registering parent’s NRIC address) for at least 30 months from the start of the P1 Registration Exercise, which is 1 July 2025 for the 2025 P1 Registration Exercise.
In cases where the 30-month stay requirement is not met, or where parents are unable to provide evidence to the satisfaction of MOE that the condition is met, MOE will transfer the child to any school in its sole discretion and the parents will have no say in the choice of such school.
