What the 1 km column is and isn’t
Living inside a school’s 1 km ring puts you in the top distance band when a registration phase is oversubscribed — Citizens within 1 km are admitted first, then Citizens 1–2 km, then Citizens beyond 2 km, then Permanent Residents in the same order. It does nothing at a school that isn’t oversubscribed, and it never outranks citizenship. How balloting works →
Primary schools in Queenstown
| School | Address | Blocks in 1 km | 1–2 km |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fairfield Methodist School (Primary)Govt-aided | 100 Dover Road | 28 | 80 |
| New Town Primary School | 300 Tanglin Halt Road | 80 | 80 |
| Queenstown Primary School | 310 Margaret Dr | 80 | 80 |
New Town Primary School has the largest HDB catchment here — 80 scored blocks inside 1 km — while Fairfield Methodist School (Primary) has 28. A small number usually means private housing, landed estate, water or industry inside the ring rather than a remote school.
Blocks inside the most 1 km rings
A block inside several schools’ 1 km rings gives you top-band distance priority at several schools at once — so if one ballots out of reach, the next is still a realistic Phase 2C registration. This is a housing signal, not an admissions one: it widens your options, it does not raise your odds at any single school. The best-covered block here sits inside 2 rings.

Ranked by how many of Queenstown’s primary schools have the block within 1 km, then by the block’s young-family liveability score. Distances are measured from the school’s point location to the block, which approximates but does not replicate MOE’s boundary-to-building measurement — check any borderline block on MOE’s SchoolFinder.
Before you plan around a Queenstown school
Distance only decides anything after the earlier phases have taken their places. Work down the ladder and register in the earliest phase you qualify for — a sibling in the school (Phase 1) beats an alumni tie (Phase 2A), which beats 40 volunteer hours (Phase 2B), which beats the open phase (Phase 2C, where 40 places per school are reserved). The 2026 windows and results dates are on the key-dates page.

Frequently asked questions
- How many primary schools are there in Queenstown?
- 3 primary schools in Queenstown appear in MOE's school directory: Fairfield Methodist School (Primary), New Town Primary School, Queenstown Primary School.
- Which HDB blocks in Queenstown are within 1 km of a primary school?
- 146 scored HDB blocks in Queenstown sit inside at least one primary school's 1 km ring, and 40 of the blocks listed here sit inside more than one (snapshot 2026-11). Distance priority only applies when a phase is oversubscribed.
- Does living in Queenstown within 1 km of a school guarantee a Primary 1 place?
