Location of Nanyang Primary School

Besides being affiliated with Nanyang Girls’ High, Nanyang Primary School is near other reputable schools like Hwa Chong Institution and National Junior College.
Nanyang Primary had 89 applicants for 41 vacancies (in Phase 2C) in last year’s P1 registration.

The general trend is that freehold projects have a higher premium than projects with a 99-year lease.
Sommerville Park, in particular, had 8 resale transactions at an average psf price of S$2,025, even though it is one of the oldest condos in the area. This could be because of its larger units and the appeal of a huge development with rare amenities like a squash court and convenience stores.

30-month stay requirement
A child who gains priority admission to a primary school through the Home-School Distance (HSD) category must live at the address used for registration for at least 30 months from the start of the Primary 1 registration exercise.
If you are moving to a new resale house or are waiting for an uncompleted development, you can register your new address in the primary 1 registration. If you are moving to a resale property, you will need to undertake that you will move into your new home by the start of your child’s primary 1 academic year. If you are moving to a new launch, you need to move into your property within two years of your child’s entry into primary 1.
One thing to note is that moving to a property nearer to your preferred school will not guarantee your child’s place in the school. Factors like high demand and a few vacancies might affect your child’s chances of getting into the school. For most schools, you will need to join as a parent volunteer if you have no prior connections to the school. However, being a parent volunteer is competitive and it also will not guarantee your child’s place in the school.
