Browse all 179 government primary schools by zone (North, South, East, West) or filter for SAP and GEP schools. Tap any school to see two distance bands drawn on the map: a solid 1 km circle (Phase 2C priority distance) and a dashed 2 km circle (Phase 2C secondary distance). Enter a postal code or address to instantly see how it qualifies — distance to the school in metres, and which Phase 2C band the address falls into. Optionally show every HDB block within 2 km as map pins, color-coded by band.
