Waitlisting in SPED Schools for Primary 1 / Junior 1 PlacementWith effect from 1 January 2023, a child applying for placement in Primary 1 /
Junior 1 in a government-funded SPED
school can only be placed on the waitlist if the child has first been placed in
another government-funded SPED school1
which serves the same primary diagnosed condition. Please refer to this
link for the list of SPED schools categorised by
the primary diagnosed conditions.
1A child placed in a mainstream school will not be eligible to be on
the
waitlists for SPED schools. Should
there be interest to transfer the child to a SPED school, please refer to the
“Transfers from Mainstream Schools to SPED
schools” section for more details.
This requirement will also apply to returning Singaporeans entering SPED
schools at
all levels.
2This requirement will not be applied to P3 and above children who
can
access ASD-NC schools in 2023. This is
because Pathlight School is the only ASD-NC school that offers P3 and above
classes
in 2023. This requirement will be
extended accordingly to P3 and above children when the other ASD-NC school, St.
Andrew’s Mission School progressively
offers P3 and above and secondary levels.
