Enrolment and Admissions

Application for enrolment to ELCC for a new session takes place in January. The enrolment dates are advertised in the local press, displayed within the school and are intimated to current parents/carers via the school newsletter.

Applications are now placed online via Aberdeen City Council's Website. Places are offered by the Early Years Admissions Team, in accordance with Aberdeen City Council’s Policy for Admission to ELC. Once a place is offered and then accepted, further information on our nursery induction procedures is issued.

Application for enrolment to P1 for a new session takes place in January. The enrolment dates are advertised in the local press, displayed within the school / community and are intimated to current parents/carers via the school newsletter. You must apply for a school place online via Aberdeen City Council’s Website. Our P1 induction policy is in accordance with Aberdeen City Council's policy and procedures for entry to P1. Any child applying for a place who lives out with our catchment area must complete a placing request form.

Placing request forms can be found on the council’s website and should be returned to schoolplacings@aberdeencity.gov.uk.

Throughout the school session learners may move into our catchment area from other schools or wish to transfer to our school. An appointment with the headteacher or one of the depute headteachers should be made to ascertain if a place is available within school and to become familiar with school procedures/policies as well as to discuss your child’s needs. If possible for you, a visit for your child would then be arranged prior to starting school to allow them to become familiar with their classroom, classmates and their teacher. Aberdeen City Council’s “A Guide to Education Services” and “Choosing a School” booklet will also be issued to parents/carers at this time.
