Phase-by-Phase Strategy
Sibling Priority
HPPS has a large student body. If your older child is currently enrolled, your younger child is guaranteed a place through Phase 1 sibling priority. This is the most secure and common path for existing HPPS families.
Alumni Route
HPPS has one of the largest alumni bases among non-affiliated schools. Former students who are alumni association members can register under Phase 2A. The large alumni pool means Phase 2A can be competitive in some years, but alumni children are still very likely to get in.
Parent Volunteer + Grassroots
As a non-affiliated government school, HPPS Phase 2B admission is via two routes only: (1) Parent Volunteer — highly competitive with very limited slots; or (2) Grassroots Leader endorsement through your local RC/NC/RN. PV applications typically open in January and close within days due to overwhelming demand.
PV / Grassroots Info
Open Balloting
HPPS ballots for <1km in Phase 2C in most recent years. 1-2km applicants sometimes get in during less competitive years but it is unpredictable. Applicants outside 2km have almost no chance. Living within 1km is the only reliable Phase 2C strategy.
Phase 2B — Step-by-Step Guide
Phase 2B at Henry Park Primary School is via Parent Volunteer (PV) or Grassroots Leader. As a non-affiliated school, these are the only two Phase 2B paths. Competition is high as PV slots are limited.
Parent Volunteer (PV)High competition
- Contact Henry Park Primary School parent support group 2 years before P1 registration
- Submit PV application in January. Slots fill within days
- Complete minimum 40 volunteer hours over 2 years
- Receive Phase 2B eligibility letter from school in June of registration year
Timeline: Start: K1 year (Jan). PV application: Jan-Feb. Complete 40hrs by: Apr of P1 registration year
Grassroots LeaderMedium competition
- Join your local Residents' Committee (RC) or Neighbourhood Committee (NC) 2+ years before P1 year
- Serve actively as an executive member. Attend monthly meetings
- Obtain endorsement letter from People's Association (PA) for Phase 2B
Timeline: Start: By K1 year. Endorsement cutoff: ~Jun of year before registration
Key Dates

- • PV hours deadline: April of P1 registration year
- • Grassroots endorsement cutoff: June of preceding year

Prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded. "2BR"/"3BR" are floor areas (500–800 / 800–1,200 sq ft), not bedroom counts. Condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (psf/mo) — a rate, not a monthly total. URA publishes no landed rents, so those cells stay blank. "—" means URA has no figure for that project: too few recent sales in that size band, or none at all.
Condo prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded (window Sep 2024 – Sep 2026); condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (2026 Q2). "—" means no figure is published for that row: too few records to quote one, or none at all. HDB figures in the within-1km tables are medians of data.gov.sg HDB resale registrations over the last 24 months and HDB's published median rent by town and flat type. Landed purchase figures are URA caveat medians for that street; URA's rental data covers non-landed property only, so the landed rent columns stay "—". Current listings: 99.co PropertyGuru
Affiliation Advantage
Henry Park has NO religious, clan, or secondary school affiliation. All competition is purely based on proximity and the school's outstanding academic reputation. This means Phase 2B has NO clan/church priority — it is purely PV and grassroots. This can actually be an advantage as you compete on equal footing.
No affiliation means equal competition for Phase 2B. The school's reputation alone drives demand — testament to its academic excellence.
