When a child starts school for the first time, they must enrol at their local catchment school.  Schools are only able to register children at this point who are in the catchment.  Parents/Carers can make an out of catchment application online to the Local Education Authority if they do not wish to send their child to their local school.  Parents/carers must always enrol at their local school first to ensure a place for their child in a school.

Registration for children starting school in P1 normally takes place around the beginning of November to start the following August.  Please look out for information about this nearer the time. Posters are normally displayed in nurseries and libraries etc.  Parents/carers should complete an application form online and provide proof of address and date of birth eg

• current council tax letter/bill
• current utility bill
• child’s birth certificate.  

An open morning for parents, carers and children to attend their local catchment school takes place in November.  At this point parents and carers will be issued with an information leaflet about the nursery / school transition process.

For general admissions across the other stages, please contact the school directly to enquire about spaces.   An online form will require to be completed.
