Executive Summary: Ai Tong School Proximity
Ai Tong School (located at 100 Sin Ming Avenue) is one of Singapore’s top Special Assistance Plan (SAP) primary schools under Hokkien Huay Kuan. Thomson Reserve at Bright Hill Drive sits safely within the 1km boundary. Under MOE’s home-school distance calculation framework (measured from any residential block boundary), all 1,268 units at Thomson Reserve qualify for maximum distance priority in Phase 2B and Phase 2C.
MOE Primary 1 Registration Framework: Understanding 1km Priority
During Primary 1 registration, when applicant demand exceeds vacancy for a given phase (especially Phase 2C), places are allocated strictly by citizenship and residential distance to the school:
- Singapore Citizens (SC) residing within 1km of the school (Highest priority).
- Singapore Citizens residing between 1km and 2km.
- Singapore Citizens residing outside 2km.
- Permanent Residents (PR) residing within 1km.
Because Ai Tong School regularly sees Phase 2C subscription rates of 150% to 200% among 1km applicants, living beyond 1km effectively rules out any chance of admission. Securing a unit at Thomson Reserve puts your child directly into Category 1 (SC within 1km).
