Bedok Primary Schools

Cleris's take

Bedok Green is one of the least pressured schools in Bedok — applied numbers have been well below vacancy every year, which means your address within the catchment really doesn't matter much for P1 purposes. If you're buying in the Bedok North area and want to take school stress off your list entirely, this one delivers that.

Cleris's take

Fengshan has balloted in Phase 2C three out of four years, and the ballot distance has reached SC1-2 — meaning families more than 1km away have been caught in the ballot. You're not locked out from further away, but if Fengshan is your target and you're choosing between two comparable flats, the one inside 1km gives you meaningful insurance.

Cleris's take

Red Swastika has balloted in every phase every year — Phase 2C consistently lands at SC<1, meaning even the closest citizens have to compete. If this school is your priority, the 1km ring is non-negotiable, and even then you're entering a ballot. The Bedok North Ave 4 area is where that 1km concentrates.

Cleris's take

Temasek has balloted in Phase 2C every year at SC<1, with some years drawing over 100 applicants for around 50 spots. If you're buying in Simei with this school in mind, the 1km ring matters a lot — and you should still plan for a ballot rather than expect guaranteed entry.

Cleris's take

Yu Neng has balloted in Phase 2C every year at SC<1, which puts it in the same high-pressure bracket as Temasek and Red Swastika in this district. If this school is a priority for your family, the 1km ring around Bedok is where your address strategy should focus — and a ballot is a realistic expectation, not a worst case.

Cleris's take

Cedar has shown zero ballot pressure in Phase 2C — applied numbers have stayed well below vacancy every year. You don't need to angle your Bedok property search around this school's 1km ring; it's genuinely open access.

Cleris's take

Damai has never balloted across the four years covered, and Phase 2C demand has been well within the school's capacity. Your address in Bedok simply doesn't need to be optimised around this school — it's a low-pressure entry.

Cleris's take

St. Anthony's Canossian is one of those mission schools where the numbers barely register pressure — Phase 2C has had between 30 and 40 applicants against vacancies of over 100 in recent years. Whether your daughter enters via a school connection or not, address proximity is not something you need to plan around here.
