Primary schools near Chencharu Central Residences
These are the main schools near Chencharu Central Residences in the Khatib and Yishun area. Distances for P1 priority are measured by the Singapore Land Authority from the home address to the school boundary. Until Chencharu Central Residences has a postal code, treat any distance figure online, including ours, as an estimate.
| Primary school | Area | Likely band* |
|---|---|---|
| Peiying Primary School | Khatib / Yishun Ring Road | Check: within 1 km or 1 to 2 km |
| Naval Base Primary School | Khatib / Yishun Avenue 4 | Check: within 1 km or 1 to 2 km |

*Indicative only. Confirm on OneMap's "School Query" with the project's postal code once issued. MOE may also open new schools in Chencharu as the estate grows. HDB's plan sets aside land for an educational institution.
How the 1 km and 2 km P1 priority works
In Primary 1 registration, Phases 2B and 2C give priority by home distance when a school has more applicants than places:
- Singapore Citizens within 1 km of the school get first priority.
- Then Singapore Citizens between 1 and 2 km.
- Then Singapore Citizens beyond 2 km, followed by Permanent Residents in the same order.
If you use a home address for priority, MOE requires you to live there for at least 30 months from the start of the P1 registration exercise. If you sell or move out early, the child may be transferred to another school with vacancies.
Plan your P1 timing with the construction timeline
New launches take several years to build. If Chencharu Central Residences previews in 2027, completion is likely to be around the early 2030s, subject to the developer's schedule. That makes it a good fit for:
- Families with toddlers or babies who will register for P1 after completion.
- Parents planning for siblings who will register later.
- Families whose children are already in nearby schools and want to stay in Yishun.
If your child registers for P1 before completion, your current address will normally be used.
