Primary One admission status definitions
Check whether the application window has actually opened or closed. An event, interview or result does not change that status.
Open
The official opening date has arrived and the confirmed deadline has not passed. If an official source states a rolling or limited wait-list arrangement without a deadline, the note explains it instead of inventing a closing date.
Announced
The official 2027/28 application window is published but starts in the future. An information session, event registration or admission document does not open applications early.
Partial info
Some official 2027/28 information exists, such as a process, interview month or application method, but no confirmed application deadline is available. This differs from not published because part of the current-cycle arrangement is known.
Closed
The official deadline passed or the official page says applications closed. A later document task, interview, result or registration date does not reopen applications.
School closed
A primary source confirms that the primary school ceased operating, or current Education Bureau records and the former school number no longer contain it. This is operating identity, not an ordinary application closing. A historical page remains for roster correction.
Not published
The current official-source check found no verifiable 2027/28 P1 timetable. This does not prove that the school has no intake; it means there is not enough official evidence to publish a schedule.
Why the distinction matters
Families first need to know whether they can apply now and when submission ends. Treating an event, old cycle, result or document date as an application window causes incorrect action, so application evidence alone controls status.
From status to action
Read the status before deciding what to do today
Open the official source now and check the closing time, documents and payment steps. Add the static deadline reminder when one is eligible.
Use the opening as the first check. Do not assume the system accepts submissions early, and reopen the school page on that day.
Record only the published item and create a check task. Without an exact deadline, no deadline reminder appears.
Keep the school on the monitoring list and revisit its official admission page. A previous-cycle date must not prefill the current calendar.
Stop treating it as a general new-application window and check the interview, result or registration stage for existing applicants.
Treat this as a historical identity record, not an ordinary deadline or a school still awaiting a 2027/28 timetable.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does a future deadline always mean applications are open now?
No. If the opening is still in the future, the status is Announced. Open applies only after the opening time has arrived and before the deadline passes.
Does Not published mean the school has no intake?
No. It means there is not enough official 2027/28 evidence to publish. An unavailable, protected or unchanged source remains a manual-review state.
Does a later interview or result date reopen a Closed application?
No. Interviews, results, registration and document tasks are later stages and cannot replace a new application opening or deadline.
How is School closed different from Closed?
Closed means an application deadline passed. School closed describes operating identity and remains only as a traceable correction to the original roster.
