Grade 1 Admission
The Grade 1 admission application is one single, standardised national form issued annually by the Ministry of Education — it is not a different form per school. However, parents must submit a signed copy to at least 6 schools (a minimum of 3 must be Provincial Council schools), so most families need 6 printed copies, each with category-specific supporting documents attached.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Grade 1 admission form different for each school?
No — it's one standardised national form from the Ministry of Education. What differs by school is the supporting documents required for each admission category (proximity, sibling, past pupil, etc.), not the form itself.
How many schools do I need to apply to for Grade 1 admission?
At least 6 schools, of which a minimum of 3 must be Provincial Council schools — so most families need 6 printed copies of the application.
